1001 Albums Summary

This album was very much outside of my comfort zone. At the risk of sounding like a total bigot, this album sounded somewhat like I would have expected coming out of West Africa, with the drum pattern as the signature. There are some western sounding elements, primarily the guitar throughout the album. What makes it sound western, I don't know. I thought I heard some blues elements. I was interested in some parts of this album, here and there, but in general this is not really my jam. It did seem to be well orchestrated, decently mixed, and as I said had some interesting musical components. From my perspective, this would be somewhere around a 6.5. AH

This is an easy listen for me. This album is mostly acoustic, maybe entirely acoustic, has elements of blues, rock & roll, folk, set over themes like run-ins with the law and meeting God. There are excellent harmonica riffs that gave me chills. There is some great emotion here. This is an 8.4 for me. AH
