NotesThe 14 songs on his fourth solo effort for Nonesuch, PULL UP SOME DUST AND SIT DOWN are, by turns, angry, outraged, bitterly funny, and deeply poignant. With brilliant, Woody Guthrie-like directness and a healthy dollop of satire, Cooder's lyrics address the often-sorry state of our domestic affairs: The bank bailout, the anti-immigration movement, the ever-growing gap between rich and poor, and the never-ending war in the Middle East and it's devastating physical and emotional toll on young soldiers.
