Zambia Roadside is truly what the title promises, a recording made by Sharp Wood's Michael Baird along a highway in the south of Zambia during two trips in 1996 and 2002.
Then there's more guitars (some marvelous duets are of special note) and on to more vocal music, again the large women's ensemble, this time accompanied by drums and flutes in a what almost seems a hybrid of South African kwela and choral traditions. The entire CD is programmed in a beautiful mix of styles and sounds, shifting smartly from one thing to the next in a logical and musical fashion. - CF
