Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

If you're white and you know about Nusrat, it's probably because you've heard this guy claim "Nusrat is my Elvis" on the live album he recorded here in 1993.

He's the most famous Pakistani and Sufi singer of all time. And while he's especially renowned for his devotional music, Qawwali, Mustt Mustt (1990) represents his first shot at Qawwali/Western fusion.

He's not saying believe in God, but you better believe that when God spins this album he turns up the bass and listens in flac.

This album fires up straight struggle the whole way through. At first, titles like "Walk Alone", "Dear God (2.0)", "Now Or Never", and "How I Got Over" got me thinking that I was about to drop the needle into some low-fi country rubbish. Helllllllz no, Flac friends. We got John Legend and Yim Yames spitting, plus tons of other concrete hustlers. So fire funk your zipper and bust a bluesy nut on this shit.

We might have to be hush hush about this one.

Oh man, oh man. This one is blowing my mind as I write this. Everything you could want from them without being a repeat of territory covered.

You can find it elsewhere easier enough, but it's here for easy gettin'.
