JUSTIN ADAMS, guitarist with Robert Plant’s Sensational Spaceshifters, (with four Plant albums under his belt) – who also produced and played on critically acclaimed albums by the desert blues outfit Tinariwen and Gambian griot Juldeh Camara – teams up with Italian violinist and percussionist Durante, to produce a raw and stripped-back set.
Coupling Adams’s love of African and Arabic music, delta blues and old time country music and Durante’s interpretations of traditional Italian folks songs such as Damme Nu Riccu and Amara Terra Down, they have produced a brilliant set – cut live with no overdubs.
