The Rough Guide To Planet Rock
[RGNET1172CD]
16 tracks which delve into the influences rock music has had around the world from the blues of Tinariwern to rocking it up Tuvan style with Yat-Kha (their version of Iron Butterfly's 'In A Gadda Da Vida' is something else). Fear not there's nothing from The Darkness here but 16 tracks which includes the brilliant Gypsy punk of Gogol Bordello from Ukraine/Usa, wild guitar playing from Guinea's Ba Cissoko and my favourite Konono No 1 from Congo who are, well they are just wild. Great. Graham Radley
