 Ry Cooder
The album and novella will be released together on June 24, 2008 by Nonesuch/Perro Verde Records.
The novella tells the story of Kash Buk and his friend Shakey the alien, along with other eccentric characters as they trek through a bygone California filled with deserts, salt-flat racing, Native Americans, seedy dance halls, amusement parks, and sinister plots.
The album comprises of fourteen songs by Buk, a hard-boiled salt flat racer and roadhouse musician. Cooder draws his inspiration from country western music, popular mechanics magazines, and science fiction films. I, Flathead reflects change and disruption in a young, post-war do-it-yourself culture of outsiders obsessed with racing cars fashioned from military surplus parts and flathead engines.
Cooder produced the album and wrote or co-wrote all the songs. Below is the track listing for his latest effort.
