A retrospective of their 30 years of making incredible music. This time they’re joined by a host of special guests, including Taj Mahal, Hugh Masekela, Melissa Etheridge, Emmylou Harris & others. While I prefer when it’s just them, there’s no such thing as a bad Ladysmith song. Joyful, gorgeous voices and wonderful music. *1. Relaxed & peaceful. Just them & those amazing harmonies. 2. Down/midtempo duet w/Zap Mama. Sweet, fun, playful. 3. Starts relaxed, gets into a happy upbeat bounce w/Etheridge. 4. Sweet, downtempo classic w/S McLachlan harmonies. Pretty. 5. Downtepmo, stately, elegant, but not stuffy.. *6. Starts slow, gets a bounce. Very cool, great boppy harmonies. 7. Taj Mahal adds vox/blues guitar to “the lion sleeps…” Nicely cool. *8. Gorgeous gospel duet w/Emmylou. Simple, down/midtempo. *9. Beautiful anthem of the anti-apartheid movement. Slow, graceful. 10. Excellent showcase of harmony/clicks/lyricism. Relaxed. *11. Great blend of South African talent. Mid/up, busy layers. 12. Down/midtempo in praise of S. African unification. 13. Too short solo by Joseph Shabalala (the founder). Lazy, so good. | ||
