These three great musicians have come together to perform as a trio, called Guitar Bass Drums, for the very first time. A special concert for a special cause, The Richard de Lone Special Housing Project.

Ry Cooder is known for his exceptional slide guitar work, his interest in the American roots music, and for his collaborations with traditional musicians from many countries. Completing Cooder's California trilogy (which began with 2005's 'Chavez Ravine' and 2007's 'My Name is Buddy,' both GRAMMY nominated), 'I, Flathead' (Nonesuch/Perro Verde) tells the story of Kash Buk, a hard-boiled salt-flat racer and roadhouse musician living in a post-war California filled with deserts and seedy dance halls. Here's what the critics are saying:

"An unqualified success."
- Scott Bauer, ASSOCIATED PRESS, June 24, 2008

"Classic Cooder."
- Julianne Shepherd, NPR BRYANT PARK PROJECT, June 24, 2008

"It's a wild ride through another place and time."
- Gary Graff, BILLBOARD, June 28, 2008

In his early days as singer, songwriter, and bassist, Nick Lowe and the band Brinsley Schwarz survived a now legendary "next big thing" publicity disaster to become one of the main acts on the British musical movement called "pub rock." When that movement sputtered and died he resurrected himself with the brilliant album "Jesus of Cool", which has just been rereleased in a deluxe 30th anniversary edition on Yep Roc Records. A co-founder and house producer for Stiff Records, Nick "The Basher" produced for The Damned, Graham Parker, Elvis Costello, and many others. Since then Nick has recorded a string of well-reviewed solo albums, writing songs that have been covered by a wide variety of acts, from Elvis Costello to the Tartan Horde,  Johnny Cash, the tv show The Sopranos, and the movie The Bodyguard. His most recent album, At My Age, was released just last year on Yep Roc. And you can bet there's more on the way.

Jim Keltner is one of the world's best loved and most heard drummers. Besides being Ry Cooder's drummer of choice for many years, drumming for Nick Lowe's wonderful album, Party of One, and combining with Nick and Ry to record John Hiatt's seminal album, Bring the Family, he has recorded with everyone (almost), including  John Lennon, Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, Steely Dan,  B.B. King, The Traveling Wilburys, Elvis Costello, Lucinda Williams, George Harrison, Randy Newman, Rufus Wainwright, Willie Nelson, Joe Cocker, Roy Orbison, James Taylor, Boz Scaggs, Linda Ronstadt, Ringo Starr, Indigo Girls, Rickie Lee Jones, Eric Clapton, Fiona Apple, Jackson Browne, Charlie Watts, John Lee Hooker, and many, many more.
