Shiv was ethereal, a sensual experience as much as a musical one. Dreamlike. Ali Farka Toure was best the first of the several times that we caught him. Not so sure his live act aged well. In Mali before his death, a local musician from our city tried to jam with him. Understand, our 'local' player has like 30 albums to his name. He's a pro (Bruce Cockburn). But seems Toure turned up his own guitar real loud to deliberately drown out our boy onstage.....
