Hailing from Mali, Koite and his superb band carry you off on Kalimba feet, steel toes digging into the earth, covering great distances, moving as a blur as you try to out race the storm at your back. The harmonica and roots-of-the-blues patterns on this two-disc live release will feel vaguely familiar. This is roots music in the purest sense, the line from which many branches have grown. Koite's acoustic guitar has the daring-do of the Johns, Fahey and Renbourn respectively, and the drive of Australia's John Butler Trio. Abdoul Wahab Berthe's has a bass snap that'd turn Oteil Burbridge's head. Their facility for stretching pieces, finding new corners in old haunts, should appeal to jam fans. They celebrate and expand on the traditions of their homeland but enlivened by a curiosity for music from all the places they've visited. Like fellow Malian Ali Farka Toure, this has the characteristic of magic, a spell cast, a hypnopompic awareness of things just below the surface of consciousness.
