Dear Ramona, if your comments weren't criticisms, what were they? Anyway, call them whatever you want... You challenged some statements in my review without knowing, by your own admission (the "I don't know" and the "maybe"), whether they were correct or not. Now, disputing just for the sake of it, or criticizing just to criticize—pick the verb you like—doesn't seem like the best way to participate in a discussion. And it goes without saying that you don't seem to be in the right position to make sarcastic remarks: I don't belong to the Sufis, and even less am I a master. I'm not even an expert. You're the only one who noticed this supposed claim of mine to play the professor of theology. That I know more about the topic than you do, you made that quite evident yourself. By the way, you are living proof that preconceived notions (the Shia are extremists) are products of ignorance. And this page is not dedicated to Sufism. It's dedicated to an extraordinary singer, indeed to an extraordinary man. I don't have the "devotional songs" album, but I don't think I'm too far from the truth if I say it contains religious songs (Qawwali). "Love songs" contains love songs (Ghazal). The Ghazal is the secular version of Qawwali. I explained this in the review. Finally, I recommend "love songs" to everyone (that's what reviews are for), especially to you: you may be far from completing the discourse on Nusrat, but I’m sure it will do you a lot of good. Bye.

Hello Dante, I’m arriving on this page a bit late, but I suggest you buy, duplicate, or download the bootleg video "A token of his extreme" where you can find the entire television broadcast from 1975 or thereabouts, from which the dialogue between Frank and Napoleon you mentioned is taken. From that broadcast came "Inca Roads" and "Florentine Pogen," which were later published on "One size fits all." I would say that the meaning of "Dummy up" can be summed up with this euphemism: Frank did not believe in the American educational system. For what it’s worth, you might as well smoke the diploma... The same goes for college degrees. Bye.

A heartfelt thank you to all the illustrious de-commentators: I'm responding in no particular order: @Odradek: thank you for your kind words and for the addition regarding the concerts: I don't know what I would give to be able to attend them... Thanks also for addressing the criticisms (which are, after all, based on "I don't know" and "who knows") from Therealramona. This isn’t the first time you’ve answered on my behalf, and I must say I truly appreciate it. Ah, I think no one will have anything to say if you want to complete your review on Nusrat. In fact, I’ll tell you, I’m looking forward to it... @Leonid: Let's really hope that Rahat is as good as his uncle, and if good blood doesn't lie... Thank you also for downplaying Ramona and for your last comment, which I completely agree with from start to finish (especially the end). I don’t have "live in Paris," I have "live at the Royal Albert Hall," a boxed set with three CDs and a booklet with quite a lot of information. Consider it... @Filini: Alas, I missed both "dead man walking" and the soundtrack. I’ll make up for it. @Iside: I reciprocate the hug. I’m glad you liked the album.:) @wanderer: thank you for your comment and for the ones you recently left on my reviews of Dulce Pontes, Bill Frisell-Buster Keaton, and Brecht-Weill. @Thirdeye: If you click on More-info, you'll reach a site with videos, articles, interviews, lyrics, and translations, including a couple for this album. Thanks also to Gabbox (great album "night songs"), to the kind Boredom, to the rambling (as much as I am) wrecking ball, to the punisher, and, last but not least, to Jim Morrison. Thank you also to those who read but didn't comment. Hello everyone.

Yes Hal, "somewhere" isn't bad, but... I don't know, these authors with a slightly folkish approach from the last or second-to-last generation don't say much to me. They lack passion, strength... I agree with Vì when she says "fragile and delicate structure." For me, the structure is too fragile. And it's something I've noticed not only in this Liz, even though I don't want to talk about trends. And even "Somewhere," if you compare it to Tom Waits' version (which, by the way, Durett covered), seems a bit "lightweight"... But maybe it's just me who doesn't understand a thing. :-)

Well, I spent some time on this Durett's website, but I wasn't convinced... Her version of "perfect day" seemed a bit too relaxed to me, just like the track "husk," which is also very repetitive. I recognize a certain charm in her, but that's as far as I go. I agree about the beauty of her voice, though.

Poletti, you're missing the conduct grade. More than a review, what you have is a report card. It was needed...

Yes, just to quote, I remember someone saying: "Do I believe in God? Let's say I respect Him...".

"If anyone's in need of me, I'm drowning in the bathroom." Hi Pip...

Well... I don’t know, I’ve never understood this album. So no rating. But "San Lorenzo" as the soundtrack of a 70s porn film????? Who knows, you know what, who cares, you deserve a five. :)
