After taking Europe by storm earlier this summer, Ry Cooder and Nick Lowe have announced a month-long tour through Japan, New Zealand, and Australia for late this year, beginning November 4 at Nagoya, Japan's Zepp Hall and winding up at the Riverside Theatre in Perth, Western Australia, December 1. Highlights along the way include a three-night stint at Tokyo's Orchard Hall, two nights at Sydney's State Theatre, and two at Melbourne's Palais Theatre.

Ry's son Joachim Cooder will join the tour on drums, as he did in Europe, and singer Juliette Commagere will return as special guest vocalist.

After the group's shows in the UK, The Guardian asserted that "Cooder belongs to the elite group of guitarists, Eric Clapton and BB King among them, whose style can be identified by a single note." The Scotsman gave a perfect five stars to their Edinburgh set, exclaiming, "Cooder showed why he's considered the best slide player in the world." The Herald gave that show five stars as well, saying the set "confirmed Cooder's status as the king of slide guitar."
