The more I listen to this track the more I realize that Vieux Farka Touré and Dave Matthews together is a no-brainer. Touré’s trance inducing guitar and Matthews’s haunting vocals combine to form an engrossing sound that borders on the edge of melancholy. Director Sam Bathrick couples this sound with visually arresting video of a young boy lost both literally and figuratively in a gray patch of woods – the combination makes for an eerily beautiful experience.
