ジャケット：四隅四辺スレ。表裏は薄スレ少々。中面は主に中央部、上部に経年のシミ。
ディスク：レーベルはヒゲがそこそこ。盤面も薄スレがそこそこ見られますが傷はありません。ざっとつまみ聴き試聴しましたが、とても良好で聴感上はA-の感じです。

アーロ・ガスリーの73年作「ラスト・オブ・ブルックリン・カウボーイ」。
『ブラックホーク99選』にも選出された名盤かつアーロ・ガスリーの最高傑作との誉れも高い名作です！
シンガー・ソングライター好きにとってはたまらない味のあるアルバムですね。
『アリスのレストラン』でのデビュー後、ボブ・ディランも尊敬する父ウッディー・ガスリーの「親の七光り」に頼らず、本作を作り上げたアーロ・ガスリーには拍手喝采です。
そんなアーロをサポートすべく駆けつけたバック・ミュージシャンはギターだけでも、クラレンス・ホワイト、ジェシ・エド・デイヴィス、ライ・クーダーをはじめとしてアホらしいほど超豪華なメンツが参加しています！
アイリッシュ・トラッドのA-1「Farrell O'Gara」に始り、ラス前にライ・クーダーとジェシ・エド競演のB-5「Cooper's Lament」を持ってきて父ちゃんの曲B-6「Ramblin' 'Round」で締めくくるという素朴ながらも豪華な内容です。
シンガー・ソングライター基本盤。

日本盤です。
