There´s a consistent pattern here:a non-western style song almost always implies a very high rate of sucko barfo ratings

I like that, what I find quite stunning is that he seems to be using quarter-tones in his singing, however the backing vocals are still not out of tune. Unless my hearing is declining...

After seeing the low rating of African songs in general, I'm surprised or even (a bit) disappointed. This kind of diversity or eclectic choices is why I keep listening RP more than 15 years. For me at least, it is once and while refreshing to hear a African tune in RP. Even if the music is not an immediate cup of tea for me, I love the honest beats.
More from this album would be gratefully appreciated! It's a good one.
Franklin's Tower like I've never heard it. Very cool. I like it.
I did not recognise this as Orchestra Baobab... It doesn't have as much of a "vibe" as I am accustomed to... Kinda muted. Still nice though.
Who's playing the lead guitar? Absolute amateur. Not the OB I know and like.
The Grateful Dead, Afro-Pop style. I'm Loving It!!

It's as if the music is gold and Bill is a Goldsmith. 
I've had this track rated a 7 for a long time and just now bumped to an 8; maybe cuz I'm starting to really dig the Grateful Dead more. LONG LIVE RP!!

Thanks for the pick-me-up, feeling really down today.
Thanks for playing! The whole album is a great concept. Several songs from it are worthy of consideration for the RP rotation in my opinion.
Ignore the nattering nabobs of negativity, this is fantastic!

Had not the website told me this song was ‘Franklin’s Tower’ by The Dead I’m not sure I would have recognised it?!?
too long and monotonous
Ugh.

I Agree completely! Thanx RP!
