Ry Cooder - El Corrido de Jesse James

Ry Cooder's latest records have been undisputedly political in most every aspect, but no less good than what we have been used to expecting. The song "El Corrido de Jesse James" was one of several songs attacking bankers for exploiting the poor from 2011's Pull Up Some Dust And Sit Down, as the title suggests a Mexican corrido in waltz time. It's a fantastic song, showcasing both Cooder's musicality and his humanity.
