Joachim Cooder: When The Train Comes Along

 

Percussionist and songwriter Joachim Cooder rearranges traditional music made popular by songster and banjo player Uncle Dave Macon in the 1920’s or so for the – out there, completely unexpected choice of - electric mbira (thumb piano.) He plays and sings these tunes in duo versions with his dad, Ry Cooder on guitar, remotely from California.
