Aussie 2025 press.
Early Ali Farka Touré magic right here, raw and earthy and completely hypnotic. That desert blues fingerpicking is already fully formed, looping and shimmering like heat on the horizon, with vocals that feel ancient and intimate all at once. Proper roots deep music from a man who could do more with one guitar line than most can with an entire studio. Essential for anyone who likes their blues sun baked and spiritual.
