Editorial Review:

From Amazon.com:
Talking Timbuktu is a groundbreaking record that vividly illustrates the Africa-Blues connection in real time. Ali Farka Toure, one of Mali's leading singer-guitarists, has a trance-like, bluesy style that, although deeply rooted in Malian tradition, bears astonishing similarity to that of John Lee Hooker or even Canned Heat. It's a mono-chordal vamp, with repetitive song lines cut with shards of blistering solo runs that shimmer like a desert mirage. Toure may be conversant with some blues artists, but it is unlikely that artists like Hooker or Robert Pete Williams ever heard these Malian roots, which makes the connection so uncanny. Ry Cooder, well versed in domestic and world guitar styles, is the perfect counterpoint in these extended songs/jams, his sinewy slide guitar intertwining with his partner's in a super world summit without barriers or borders. --Derek Rath

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - TALKING TIMBUKTU
I came across this album by fluke actually, but soooo glad I did. Flicking through the channels I came to the film 'Unfaithful'. Brilliant film. Went to look up the soundtrack for it and someone had written a review saying that the particular track from this album was not on the soundtrack to Unfaithful and thankfully they said which one it was on. This one!

This album is fantastic, beautiful, bluesy, soulful and sexy to boot. I can't stop listening to it! I am about to go and purchase more from this guy and hope to be just as enthused by his other work.
