This came up on my playlist this afternoon and for me it's a bit of an ear worm but I do like it.
Sonny Landreth and some bloke from Dire Straits :

I had to look up the meaning of "ear worm" Martin @port perran ! I rather like it, jolly and catchy - nice one.

Where have you been, Tim?

I rate Knopfler as a great guitarist but wasn't over keen on that track

Love this song. Tortured family, though with a few of them dying young.

Sorry - too flowery for me I'm afraid.

Even by 60s standards that's definitely a 
Pushy Mom gets her kidss on stage

Was it the mom? I thought it was the dad.

I'm not sure some Mdou Moctar's guitar doesn't break the laws of physics  but it makes great chilling music for today

Wow! That's different. I really liked it. Thanks for posting it

I rather like African music with a bit of a Western feel and am quite impressed with Mdou Moctar whose included in a few of my playlists.
Not so sure about this particular track though.

A much more laid back afro best/jazz fusion style fro Kokoroko who are London based :

Everybody should have 'Going up the country','On the road again' and this in their collection.
Great band

Agreed. A great little band.

I haven't a clue about the lyrics but I really like the overall sound of this track from 'Tago Mago' (I have the double album on vinyl)

Not for me I'm afraid.
I was into Kraut Rock about 50 odd years ago with the likes of Can, Amon Duul, Faust and a few others but for me it very much hasn't weathered well.
It's a thumbs down for me.

Martin @port perran , back in the early 70s I didn't really take to Krautrock but was aware of some of the bands. About 15 years ago an old school chum gave me a second bite of the cherry, I rather liked this band Guru Guru, here they are with "Space Baby"...


Sort of Gong meets Man. Mick @Newportnobby , the Can was OK-ish!

Tim

PS the Kokoroko was rather pleasant.

That reminds me more of The Doors 'This is the end'

Love the bell bottoms.
