Ry Cooder's new album, Pull Up Some Dust and Sit Down, which was released late last month on CD and digitally, is out today as a double-vinyl set, which includes two audiophile-quality, 140-gram vinyl discs plus a CD of the complete album. Nonesuch Store orders also include high-quality, 320 kbps MP3s of the album at checkout.

The CD release of Pull Up Some Dust and Sit Down two weeks back was met with great critical acclaim from around the world, including five-star reviews from Uncut, the Daily Telegraph, the Guardian, the Independent, the Observer, and more. (Read more of the great critical response here.)

Ireland's Evening Herald follows suit with a perfect five out of five stars for the album. "The headline news is that Ry Cooder has made yet another of his trademark, cornerstone collections, dragging in the wide span of his American music influences," writes the Herald's Eamon Carr, "from foot-stomping boogie ('John Lee Hooker for President') to Tex-Mex hoedown ('Christmas Time This Year') and late night juke-joint blues ('Baby Joined the Army')."

Carr goes on to say that "No Banker Left Behind," the album's opening track, "hits the bullseye and could grace any of Cooder's early acclaimed albums. The gravy train has left town. The best thing about it is that you can sing along."

In Canada, the Winnipeg Free Press offers another five-star review and says "this one is a classic." Reviewer Jeff Monk explains that "Cooder nails every note with the kind of finesse, charm and varied palette that made his '70s-era albums so enjoyable ... At over four decades doing this stuff it's almost unbelievable that he can still sound so relevant." Read the review at winnipegfreepress.com.
