Back on August 31 and September 1 of 2011, national treasure Ry Cooder and his band Corridas Famosos played two shows at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. By all accounts, they were two of the best shows of the year (please, no more rubbing in the fact that we missed it!).  The upshot is that the shows were recorded, and on September 10th Nonesuch will release the resulting album Live in San Francisco.  The Corridos Famosos band includes son Joachim Cooder on drums; Robert Francis on bass; vocalists Terry Evans, Arnold McCuller, and Juliette Commagere; Flaco Jimenez on accordion; and the ten-piece Mexican brass band La Banda Juvenil. Listen below to Cooder & Corridas Famosas perform Cooder’s own Lord Tell Me Why off the album.  More great sounds and another relevant message from Ry Cooder.
