In our final episode for now, we discuss Cooder's brief U.S. tour with Rosanne Cash, titled "The Music of Johnny Cash," as well as his latest collaboration with Taj Mahal, Get On Board. On this album, they pay tribute to two of their early musical heroes, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee. We're still hoping for a sequel, but this could be a fitting conclusion to their long careers.

This podcast frequently uses small snippets of musical recordings in podcast episodes for educational, review, and commentary purposes. In all cases, without exception, we believe this is protected by fair use in the U.S., fair dealing in the U.K. and EEA, and similar exceptions in the copyright laws of other nations. No more of the original than necessary is used, and excerpts are edited into long-form narratives, making the use transformative in nature.
