I've been suspicious of posthumous duet recordings ever since Kenny "G" desecrated the legacy of Louis Armstrong, but this one was too much fun to resent. :cool:

 
Everytime I get a notification for a new post in this thread, I remember to change-over to my SXM, to see what they are playing on either XMU or AltNation.
The latter just segued from ImagineDragons ("EyesClosed") to GlassAnimals ("Creatures in Heaven").
 
Ex Bad Seeds..really good
 
Fun stereo and some synthesizer.

Tom Tom Club: Genius Of Love and Under The Boardwalk.


 
Lazy Lester one more once

About 20 years ago Andy Kershaw played a track on his Radio 3 programme from an album called 'In the Heart of the Moon' by Ali Farka Touré and Toumani Diabaté, both from Mali. I already had some Ali Farka Touré but this was a new sound for me. Toumani played the kora, and the music was just gorgeous. Over the years I've collected all the Toumani Diabaté CDs I could find. Every so often I'd go through a phase when I'd start playing them again and wondered how I could ever listen to anything else. One of these phases was a few months ago and I thought that I really must see him perform if/when he next comes to the UK. I was in the process of recommending him to someone else when I discovered that he had died on 19 Jul. I'm so upset that there will be no more music from him. Anyway, if you're curious, I still recommend 'In the Heart of the Moon' as an "intro". He's recorded other collaborations but I much prefer his kora solo and duet albums. For me this is music like nothing else.

Brownie McGhee's brother who had a musical career of his own. This is based on his big hit but the lyric is fun.
