I love this album. It is very heavily influenced by South African music and I don’t really like “Homeless” and “Under African Skies” because the African influence takes over too much for my taste. Those two songs do nothing to distract from the brilliance of the rest of this album. The mix of styles on the rest of the album is perfectly balanced. In university I wrote an essay about the title song, Graceland, and listening to that song a hundred times only made me like it more. “The Boy in the bubble” and “That was your Mother” two of my favorites on the album and they’re pure zydeco, complete with accordions. Go listen and I know you’ll wake up the next day with Graceland lyrics stuck in your head.
