I like Ali Farka Toure better without Ry Cooder trying to strum in the background.

This Ali Farka Toure & Ry Cooder album is amazing from start to finish....but I am a bit concerned about Patti playing frisbee with that vinyl.

Ali Farka Touré with Ry Cooder - Goye Kur, Live (1994):

"He's Ry Cooder looking very un-Ry-like (in a vest!) with Ali Farka Touré on stage at the 1994 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. This is an electric version of a track from Touré's 1993 album, The Source. Sadly it cuts out before the end. "

Can I apologise on behalf of the UK for the above poster? I fear he is a result of our 'care in the community' program (where we release mentally challenged patients into the the streets) and is obviously a sandwich short of a picnic.

  wow.  I had sort of blocked out how annoying that was.  Now I realize it.  Sort of when you realize that you don't have the correct refresh rate on your monitor.  Right before you go into an epileptic seizure.  Thanks for bringing it to my attention.  I think (?)
Song went up to 8 for me

this whole cd is terrific - i guess by your comment that the death of Ali Farka Toure has made this physical world better off without his music. Do you really think Rye Cooder is doing this just so he can feel global? He represents the best of globalism, He's a musician and searches for genius and collaborators all over the world.
sheesh

According to the liner notes, that's Ry Cooder playing a beautiful solo on a "toy guitar."

Reason number infinity why Cooder is the man.
