That recording, Arhoolie's second release, changed his life, Mr. Cooder said. "The whole thing started like it was going to blow up, or fly apart at the seams, and it really took hold of me," he recalled. "I said to myself, 'This is what it ought to be like, total physical involvement with the music, going into it so hard that you just about lose control.' " He added, "It started me on a path of living, the path I am still on." |
