Editorial Reviews

Some people have commented that Tinariwen have always been a country band, albeit a North African take on that most North American of genres. That idea is magnified on new album Amatssou, which finds the Tuareg band’s trademark snaking guitar lines and hypnotic rhythms blending seamlessly with pedal steel, piano and strings from guest musicians including Daniel Lanois, the embellished arrangements lending the songs an epic, universal application. Full of poetic allegory, the lyrics call for unity and freedom. There are songs of struggle and resistance with oblique references to the recent desperate political upheavals in Mali and the increasing power of the Salafists. “Dear brothers all rest, all leisure will always be far from reach unless your homeland is liberated and all the elders can live there in dignity,” Ibrahim Ag Alhabib sings on ‘Arajghiyine.’ The album’s title Amatssou is Tamashek for ‘Beyond The Fear’ and it fits - Tinariwen have always been characterised by their fearlessness - and as Bob Dylan once said, the power of rock’n’roll is that it makes us “oblivious to the fear” as the music gives us the strength and resilience to confront adversity. In the two decades since Tinariwen emerged from their base in the African desert to tour the globe, they have got to know many renowned country, folk, and rock musicians from the USA including Kurt Vile, Stephen O'Malley, Jack White, and Wilco. Tuareg nomads and cowboy drifters. Camel trains and mustang horses. The timeless horizon of the endless Sahara and the wild frontier of the Old West - several thousand miles of ocean may divide the desert blues of Tinariwen and the authentic country music of rural America but the links are as palpable as they are romantic.

    This latest Tinariwen album was recorded in early 2022 in the Tassili N'Ajjer National Park in southeastern Algeria, with several studio overdubs, mixing, and mastering later in the year. The lyrics, provided in English in the 20-page booklet, are all militant statements of the movement for Touareg independence.

    This is a strong album, and it sounds much like the band has sounded before. The promotion might lead you to think that this is crossover music with American country music. This is highly exaggerated. There is a prominent fiddle part on one song, and prominent banjo on another, both well-blended. And several songs include pedal steel guitar, not mainly prominent but as ambient sound -- you could miss it if you weren't listening for it, with the exception of the ending of one song. Daniel Lanois added production to two songs, and they sound fine, but don't jump out as being clearly different from the rest.

    Tinariwen has been one of my favorite bands for several years now, and "Amatssou" certainly does nothing to change that! Bound to be one of the best of the year.

    Tinariwen never fail to impress, with their complex melodies and original 'desert blues' sound. This album is a great journey from start to finish, and I'm very privileged to own a copy :)
