Who says the Blues is a strictly American art form? This release proves that the Nile River Delta is a close cousin to the Mississippi River Delta. Great stuff across the board. This is serious, solid blues w/a definite world flavor, one star each track. As Byrd would say, “this is the shit!” 1. Driving midtempo swamp groove. So good. 2. Midtempo roadhouse romp w/great guitar/harp/vox. 3. Lazy acoustic blues in Spanish w/fem vox/harp/guitar. 4. Rock beat, solid electric guitar solo, lazy vox. 5. Habib Koite & Bonnie Raitt. Enough said. (midtempo) 6. Upbeat Chicago blues w/serious organ/guitar backing. 7. A classic! Otis Spann, Muddy Waters, James Cotton. Yow! 8. Relaxed gospel blues w/cool piano/guitar/vox. 9. Way cool midtempo blues walk. 10. Wicked downtempo slide guitar & vocal track. 11. Arabic-flavored blues, mostly midtempo. | ||
