Golden Voice (The Best Of Salif Keita) - Salif Keita

Advantages: Great triple CD
Disadvantages: None

...jazz style horns. There's Chief Udoh Essiet whose style reminds me of the best of blues, with a fantastic horn section that could blow even the great horn sections of the past into a cocked hat. His song they Must Go also brings in elements of African gospel singing. And some cool funky guitar, too! And there's Peter King, whose Watusi is the epitome of cross cultural genius, with laid back jazz grooves that would stand up against any of the jazz greats of the past 40 years. Maybe more. Next up is something by Femi Kuti, Truth Don Die. Femi is the son of Fela Kuti, and is no mean musician himself. Funky, groovy, and eminently danceable. Next is Salif Keita, whose track Madan (Laid remix) is a splendid working of modern style with traditional African music and singing. Next up is Witchcraft, another song by Fela Kuti, making...

Advantages: Every single song included, every single note I would even say.
Disadvantages: The price of this and every album by this band, at least here in Spain...and the fact that this album happened to be the last this band recorded (not released)

...knowing what the rest ones were doing, and doing it right. Years after, every Beatle member would agree in the good feelings around those abbey road sessions. They knew, as I said, it was going to be their last album, and they were working together, doing their best. The results, just excellent, resulting the best album I’ve ever heard in my life, and I mean the best album, not only the best album by The Beatles. Not all the members were involved in every song.

The last time the Beatles were together, trying to finish some song from this album, Lennon wasn’t there. But when they were together, every thing was fine with every one. When the album was in the production part, they decided to let ‘The End’ to be the last song, as a goodbye... Read review

Advantages: Amazing Songs , Voices...
Disadvantages: -

...with a back tingling sensation makes the start of the song unique to the others. The voice starts of quite queitly , but later on the rock comes back into it with the powerful Whitesnake voice!... "Here I Go Again On My Own Here I Goooooo" Classic. As you can tell by the second "Go" in the lyrics qoute , the powerful voice of David Coverale returns back , completely different to the start of the song. This song reminds me of when i had to have the confidence of doing something hard , on my own! I learnt from this , and after i knew i could do it.... Another enjoyable song , but not the best.... Overall , this song gets a 6/10. It isn't the the best song , but it has some great lyrics , and backing use and the voices are sublime. Then again , it is a slower more boring song after you have listened to it a few times over... Read review
