The weakest of the Top of the World CD's I've received with my annual subscription to Songlines magazine, but still a wholesome treat for World music fans.
The highlights are as follows;
Various Artists - Meadows of Dan; A jaunty little jig with sweet vocals and neat fiddling.
Sondorgo - Opa Cupa; evoking images of Taraf de Haidouks with female vocals.
Khyam Allami - Tawazon 1; chilled plucking of some Eastern stringed instrument in bewitching fashion.
The Wilders - This Old Town; strangely catchy and gets lodged in your brain. Alt-Country with decent lyrics and lovely atmosphere. (See quality live video below!)
JuJu - Nightwalk; A bouncing African rock-out with fiddles. Who could ask for more?
