I remember laughing when I read the liner notes and saw that Cooder had thanked Airstream for use of a 1937 trailer ...   Parked on what I'm guessing where the Utah salt flats, Ed Thrasher's photo wasn't the most sophisticated thing you've ever seen, but the cool angle and the rising sun on the horizon did make forone eye catching cover ...
