Free Music Notes for Ali Farka Toure
Free Music Review: Totally amazingopolis
Hit: 5 Stars
This bad boy rocks the party, not in a violent, infantile way, but in a gentle, solicitous, cradle swaying manner. Not that the party would then fall asleep or anything, such kind of lie restfully, enraptured, dreaming lucid dreams staring at the ceiling. Guitarisms are sublime throughout, sounding incredibly full for such sparse arrangements. His best in my opinion, and who would contradict me? Free Music Review: Mr Toure At His Best!
Hit: 5 Stars
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.
Free Music Review: A mellow gem
Hit: 5 Stars
This is an excellent collection of mellow African blues,nothing is too complicated in this music - really simple, organic sounds with beautiful rythems and wonderful guitar playing.I would recommend Toure to any serious music fan, and this is my personal favourite out of all his albums.Free Music Review: Not as good as Talking Timbuktu
Hit: 3 Stars
Ali Farka Toure best remains Talking Timbuktu, but this one is definitely worth having.For some reason, A.F.T. is flacked as if his music is the source of the blues. Talk to any bluesmen who have gone to Africa, such as Buddy Guy. It ain't.
There is a lot of conning going on. A.F.T. learned the blues the same way Eric Clapton did.
I hope this inspires listeners to read ethnomusicologists research on the origin of the blues.
Free Music Review: Another Farka gem
Hit: 5 Stars
Everything Ali Farka Toure recorded is great. His voice and guitar are one of the things we are lucky to have the oppurtunity to hear.This cd is in a tradirional mold, close Radio Mali and to the second part of The River. If you like Malian music or the blues, you will love this cd.
