Popular Reviews
This is a great album - not the best of it's genre, but still very good. In fact, if this had been better recorded it would have easily got 5 stars. Having said that, the fact that it is still highly enjoyable to listen to now is testament to the original recording using the limited technology available in the 1950s. Anyone who isn't moved by the rhythms on this album needs to check themselves.
At last, an album that definitely and without doubt deserves it's place here. This should certainly be in the top 50 albums of all time. Rubycon should probably be here too.
Back in the 1980s their was a craze for "world" music which I never really got into. I believe much of it was not very good, but a lot of trendy westerners listened to it because it was "niche" I listened to this album fully expecting not to like it, but was very pleasantly surprised. The intricate and mesmerising guitar work seems to interweave amazingly with the vocals. This is an album I would definitely listen to again. An easy 5 stars.
Only one thing worse than a moronic racist, and that is a moronic white racist who has made a career and amassed a fortune out of plagiarizing black music. I present Eric Clapton.
The bass sounds great. The brass sounds great. The rhythm section sounds great. The first album that I've not heard before that truly deserves to be on this list. Excellent choice.
