UNCUT, United Kingdom, Unlikely pair's second desert blues excursion >>

Justin Adams & Juldeh Camara
Tell No Lies
(Real World)

Take an old Etonian who plays guitar in Robert Plants' band and a Gambian maestro of the one-stringed West African violin (the riti, since you ask), and what do you get?  Interestingly, some of the deepest trance-blues this side of Timbuktu.  On their second LP, Adams' blue-rock riffs are tougher, louder, edgier and the wailing of Camara's riti is more elemntal than ever.  There are quieter moments of great beauty - but if you've seen the YouTube clip of Tinariwen jamming on "Whole Lotta Love," the same spirit is as work.
