About Ry Cooder

Editorial Reviews

Guitarist Ali Farka Toure has repeatedly bridged the gap between traditional African and contemporary American vernacular music, and this release continues that tradition. The CD features him singing in 11 languages and playing acoustic and electric guitar, six-string banjo, njarka, and percussion, while teaming smartly with an all-star cast that includes superstar fusion bassist John Patitucci, session drummer Jim Keltner, longtime roots music great Ry Cooder (who doubled as producer), venerable guitarist Gatemouth Brown, and such African percussionists and musicians as Hamma Sankare on calabash and Oumar Toure on congas.

March 14, 2006: Sadly this incredible African musician has passed to cancer, yet his music is still here and so available. This album won the Grammy and it is the classic connection between Mali and the Mississippi Delta blues. Listen to Amandrai and you will see what I mean. This is a must cd for any collection blues or otherwise. This is Ry Cooder's best album as well. Do not hesitate, buy this.

February 23, 2004: Like wise. I also heard it while listing to Unfaithful. Great music. Was suprised it wasn't on the sound tract. Reminds me of the Jukes of Mississippi!!
