African Blues/ American & British Folk & Rock sound
from all kinds of picked strings by a group comprised of
multi-instrumentalists Ben Mandelson ( of Magazine &
founder of Globe Style Records - produced Varttina &
klezmatics), Lu Edmonds ( of the Damned & the Mekons)
and Justin Adams ( Jah Wobble's band & Tinariwen-
desert blues) All tracks are really good.
***1: 6:54 mid to faster string picking African Blues, minimal low breathy whispery male vocals with plinking guitar strings
***2: 3:28 faster cool cool picking reminds me of Marc Ribot, male vocals in Spanish
3: 5:45 slow intro , mid to faster picking & strumming
4: 3:32 mid tempo guitar & male vocal
***5: 4:34 fast picking John Lee hooker style, fast male vocals, African Blues
***6: 6:21 slow intro then ramps up to a cover of "Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" with male vocal., great plucked & strummed guitars
7: 6:11 slow male vocal, Folk/Bluegrass guitar
****8: 4:10 fast strumming & picking, male´vocal/wail
9: 4:29 slow British folk/Bluegrass, male vocal
****10; 4:21 very cool rock/North Mississippi trance blues
***11: 4:38 sort of Mid Eastern sound, slow picked guitar with effects. 6 sec fade
