I agree. Went from so-so mood to contentment.

Okay, now I can sign off with a smile.
Good night, my fellow music lovers. If you're listening and commenting, you're a member of a very cool group of people on this planet. Intelligent. Never one to settle for mediocrity. Aware that music is a universal language.
Thanks, RP.

Yeah, every time RP plays this I expect to hear Lisa Mullins start talking.

Very weird.

The whole album is full of win. Not easy to get, tho. Got mine from my boss after I introduced him to The Man In Black's American Recordings.

He was quite astonished when I told him that Ali Farka Touré is on heavy rotation on RP.

This song is the eclectic style of Radio Paradise that I very much love. Some of the music being played lately is to main stream for my taste and not the reason I listen to RP.

All of Ali Farka-Toure's albums are good, but this is still one of the best. Love this tune. Wonder if ASCO and Lasidan are on the RP playlist? They should be!
