How great it must be being Ry Cooder, occupying your own little niche of unimpeachable rootsy authenticity while picking off your favourite genres. Haunting soundtrack? Check. Inspired collaboration with legendary African blues-man? Check. Re-invigoration of Cuban music? Check. Mytholgise lost Mexican community of LA? Check. Write a charming little tale about a cat, gather all your muso chums to record some allegorical little ditties telling his tale while drawing on early American roots and country? Why not? Better than it has any right to be.
