Product description

Ry Cooder's 1972 album "Boomer's Story" is a rich tapestry of roots Americana, blending blues, country, and rock into a cohesive and captivating whole. This third studio album from the prolific musician is a testament to his skill and versatility, showcasing his ability to weave traditional sounds into something fresh and vibrant.

The title track, "Boomer's Story," originally recorded in 1929 as "The Railroad Boomer," sets the tone for the album, drawing listeners into a world of railroad hobos and Americana folklore. Each song on the album is a journey through different facets of American music, from the bluesy "Cherry Ball Blues" to the country rock of "Rally 'Round the Flag."

Cooder's mastery of the slide guitar is on full display throughout the album, complementing the stellar cast of musicians who join him on this musical adventure. The album's 39-minute runtime is packed with memorable tracks, including the haunting "Dark End of the Street" and the upbeat "Comin' in on a Wing and a Prayer."

"Boomer's Story" is not just a collection of songs but a celebration of American musical heritage. It's a must-listen for fans of Ry Cooder and anyone interested in the roots of Americana, blues, and country rock. The album's enduring appeal lies in its ability to connect listeners with the rich musical traditions that have shaped American culture.

This 2019 Limited Edition Numbered Reissue LP is pressed on Silver vinyl.

  • Noisy Pressing, Poor Quality

    3 out of 5 stars
    FavzmAxulJanuary 10, 2026United States🇺🇸

    This pressing isn't exactly whisper-quiet. Despite a thorough clean on the RCM, there's still plenty of noise - crackles all over, a real racket in the A5 groove, and more crackles in B1 and B2, and so on. Apart from A5, B1, and B2, it's just about bearable (for me), but QC should really hang their heads in shame. Sad times, indeed.

  • Live Feel Record

    5 out of 5 stars
    KikIyriddDecember 30, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Amazing record pressing! It has a 'live' feel with genuine dynamics all the way through.

  • Poor Quality Control Pressing

    3 out of 5 stars
    LoqnlEkoxOctober 12, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This pressing isn't exactly quiet. Even after thorough cleaning on rcm, there's still issues - pops all over, A5 groove noise and pops, white outs and pops in B1, pops in B2, and so on. Apart from A5, B1, and B2, it's bearable (for me) but QC should be embarrassed. Sadly, it's a sign of the times.
