"Like his legendary father, Ali Farka Touré, Vieux is a guitarist who likes to collaborate. He has worked with the Israeli keyboard player Idan Raichel, and now comes an even more powerful partnership, with American singer Julia Easterlin ... I look forward to their UK tour".

"Touré and Easterlin deliver some great performances that help give tracks like the syncopated, uplifting "Took My Brother Down" and the smooth, sparse "Spark" experimental slants. As some of the material on these ten tracks have a sort of patchwork feel to it, it's Touré and Easterlin's unbridled energy that keep Touristes afloat".

"Enter a simple acoustic guitar intro in the Touré family tradition, a vocal wail, some deep and doomy brass, a twank of ngoni, a smear of Hammondesque organ and - crikey - it's Dylan's Masters Of War like you never heard it, but possibly always should have. The album would be worth it for that one alone, but off they go on further sonic explorations ... Don't you just love albums that shouldn't work but empathically do, where improbable mixtures sit so invigoratingly together that you can't imagine they didn't previously exist?".
