Mr Toure At His Best!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ali Farka Toure (Audio CD)
I've owned the CD for nine years, and it has always stayed close to me. This is to my mind the best album available of Toure's music. As stated in the editorial review, it is bare bones acoustic. Ali's voice and guitar cut straight to the soul. He is accompanied by sparse but tasteful percussion.I recommend this above the Talking Timbuktu album. It is a classic that belongs in every collection.

This review is from: Ali Farka Toure (Audio CD)
I have all of AFT's CD's that I have been able to find, this is probably my favorite. Great stripped down, bluesy feel. Somewhat reminiscint of country blues, with a twist.

I've 0wned this album for years and I never tire of it. Subtle and beautifull - my favorite of Ali's international releases.
