About this album

An ocean separates Mississippi from Timbuktu, but to hear Malian guitarist Ali Farka Touré is to hear how Delta blues and African folk twine together like serpents in the desert. Spartan, hypnotic, and staggering, these twin early acoustic albums align Touré with legends like John Lee Hooker and Son House.
