Yee Haa.......2003-06-06
If you like ju-ju guitar, you may find the first part disappointing, since the emphasis is on vocals, drums, and keyboard (!), with just a few guitar fills. I actually like it, although the vocal emphasis is frustrating since I don't speak the language. It has a mid eighties feel.
The second part is more the ju-ju sound one associates with King Sunny. In a welcome surprise to me, it's an album that I found many years ago in a used record store, and never expected to locate on CD. There's some playing around with drum machines to go with the rest of the drums, but this a ju-ju album and a joy to listen to.
By the way, is anyone else frustrated by the lack of recording dates on these CDs?
