HMV Belfast have as a July 3rd release???

The answer to the question is "no, because it hasn't been released yet".

On first listen, a really rather good album. Cooder-free, and the better for it in my opinion, compared to In the heart of the moon, even though I quite liked that one, too. But this one's rawer, less polished, speaking more directly from heart and guts.

What with the also excellent Cash American Recodings, maybe we should start a thread "Legacy recordings: last albums from artists who knew they were going to die", or would that be too morbid?

I've had this for a few weeks.

It is a rather lovely CD overall. Although the CD is one you can listen to without skipping, stand out tracks for me are "Yet Bounda Fara", "Soya" and "Ledi Coumbe".

I like this CD more than Talking Timbuktu quite a bit.

Shame he died
