New Album Releases, 3-6-2007: Ry Cooder, Stooges, Mary Chapin Carpenter
The main likely best pick in new album releases this week is My Name Is Buddy by Ry Cooder. The album has some kind of Animal Farm sounding storyline told through original Cooder songs in dustbowl style. The Amazon reviewer describes Buddy the cat thusly, "Buddy seems like a feline cross between Woody Guthrie and Joe Hill--a troubadour of union solidarity, interspecies brotherhood, and radical populism." For someone not known as a hitmaker, I note that this album rates as high as #12 currently at Amazon.

For you younguns what don't remember 1970, the Stooges were a pre-punk garage band with no discernible skills as composers or performers who made three albums of crap. Look, a chainsaw ripping through an old growth redwood has "raw power," but you wouldn't call it music. These guys wouldn't know a real song if it bit them in the ass, but David Bowie among other people who should have known better figured Iggy Pop as a brilliant primitive artist. Personally, I prefer the infamous Shaggs album, which at least had personality. Lacking any actual songs or skill though, the Stooges never had anything resembling a hit and broke up.

Still, what else have they got to do? Thirty odd years later, they've made a couple of albums while they wait around to die. Weirdness is their new one. Perhaps they have belatedly developed talent as composer and musicians.

For those wanting some literate folky country music with a social conscience, Mary Chapin Carpenter has a new album called The Calling.
