    Is there a better electric guitarist steeped in the blues yet excels in funk, r&b, gospel, soul, can jam and groove with the best improvisers AND plays Hindustani slide influenced guitar and Indian sarod and soaks up Pakistani Qawwali? Derek Trucks is one of a kind! And Susan Tedeschi (Derek's wife) combines a love of blues, soul and gospel to deliver the goods.

    This brand new debut cd is gorgeous from beginning to end. If you are a fan of Malian Wassoulou singer Oumou Sangare, you will be floored by Fatoumata. She has an incredible voice and this is one of the best West African releases of the year. With all the problems occurring in Mali these days, it is timely to hear a breath of sunshine from Fatou.
