Product Description

As soon as they met, they knew each other. Daby Toure: a thirty-something musician raised in Mauritania, West Africa, currently a leading light on the Paris, France scene. Skip McDonald: an old school African American bluesman from Dayton, Ohio, long time resident of London, England. And having met and jammed one summer's night at Real World they kept on meeting and jamming at festivals around the world.
Regardless of origin, each of Call My Name's tracks highlight the interplay between McDonald's weighty guitar grooves and Toure's lighter, more freewheeling musicality. Each track features McDonald's resonant English language vocals and the younger man's gloriously agile multilingual singing, along with delicate electronic flourishes and a vibrant immediacy.

Review

Call My Name is a fantastic achievement, the relative nature of both musicians styles is so subtly delivered that at points the lines that separate them are dissolved. A new and interesting sound emerges from the collaborative efforts of Touré and McDonald that leaves the listener wanting more than the six tracks on the album... --BBC Online
