His work is characterised by an ear for tone, a respect for individual musical languages and a willingness to let another artist’s perspective shape the direction of a record.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTalking Timbuktu is most rewarding when heard as an exchange among musicians with distinct histories. Touré’s guitar and voice remain a strong centre, while Cooder’s responses open another route through the material. The full album allows those relationships to settle into a shared flow, giving the listener time to hear common rhythmic instincts without erasing the differences that make the meeting interesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCatalogue highlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTalking Timbuktu pairs him with Malian guitarist and singer Ali Farka Touré.

They first met in London in 1992 while both were touring Europe. It was agreed that they should 'try something together'. This 'something' became 'Talking Timbuktu', a Grammy award-winning classic album, recorded in just three days in LA in 1993. Relaxed and accessible, the music is complimented by Ry's subtle guitar work and sensitive production while retaining the integrity of Ali's performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack Listing:\u003cbr\u003e1.
