SONGS FOR THE NEW DEPRESSION, NUMBER ONE.
This joint reworking of Woody Guthrie's Vigilante Man is meatier than Cooder's legendary 'seventies solo versions; Lindley, though not as well known, is also multi-instrumental maestro Americaine, nonetheless. The images are of the Price worth Paying 'thirties dustbowl and of the expression of cruel selfishness which underpins the so-called frontiersman nouvelle, the teapartier, the Godless heathen bastard, wrapped in a flag, pissing out on his fellowa, coming soon to the English shires, towns and cities, Have you seen that vigilante man, I been hearing his name all over this land?

Man, you must be reading my mail.
Cooder another prodigious talent and one long admired here in Dave's back garden. His craft inspiring music since he was a teenager, too.
David Lindley toured with our Ju-Ju man this year, his virtuosity not appreciated by the Tena ladies down the front of the Usher Hall. Philistines.
Thanks, Mr Ishmael.
And my guess was a million public sector jobs in the first year, and it seems that it will be a million-and-a-half in the first year-and-a-half. Same old, same old, same old.
