Ry Cooder might have been tempted to bill this as the Chavez Ravine
Social Club. After generating such popular and critical interest in
Cuban music of decades past with the Buena Vista Social Club,
Cooder applied a similar approach closer to home, extending his
fascination with the Mexican-American culture that flourished in 1940s
and '50s Los Angeles. The result is an CD that sounds like it's aspiring
to be something far more ambitious: a DVD, a theatrical production,
even a time machine. Cooder and a cast of seminal Chicano artists
present a song cycle that conjures an era of UFOs, the Red Scare, and
political machinations that leveled the Chavez Ravine barrio to lure the
Brooklyn Dodgers to Los Angeles. In his celebration of a vibrant
community that doesn't know it's on the verge of displacement, Cooder
enlists Thee Midnighters vocalist Little Willie G. (whose songwriting
collaboration with Los Lobos's David Hidalgo on "Onda Callejara"
highlights the album). and Pachuco patriarchs Don Tosti and Lalo
Guerrero, with the latter reviving his dancefloor favorite "Los Chucos
Suaves." The accordion of Flaco Jimenez adds conjunto flavor to
"Barrio Viejo." Throughout the album, Cooder plays a typically tasteful,
understatedly virtuosic guitar, assumes a variety of vocal
roles--including a cool Chet Baker homage in duet with pianist Jacky
Terrason on "In My Town"--and provides the provocative social context.
