...must be added, history in the ordinary sense. "Nate Shaw" is a pseudonym, as are almost all the proper names in the book. The privacy of relatives and survivors (Shaw died in 1973) remains intact. Tukabahchee County, Ala., is as fictive as Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha -and, where it really matters, as real. For Nate Shaw was a formidable bearer of memories.

Cooder is not bound to reproduce old music intact. He sometimes uses orchestration and can find new emphasis in a tune by changing the usual arrangement. Thus a World War II song called Comin' In on a Wing and a Prayer, which he sings low and slow, loses its Tin Pan Alley patriotism and becomes plaintive, full of battle fear. An old calypso tune, F.D.R. in Trinidad, is delivered with careful ingenuousness, and Cooder brightly, as if inadvertently, stresses the irony that time has worked on the lyrics: "Mr. Cordell Hull in attendance/ They took part in a peace...
