Azamane Tiliade
Bombino, 2013, from Nomad. Solo by Bombino.
From the Dan Auerbach-produced Nomad, a taut, bluesy rocker with crisp Stratocaster-style leads.
Azamane Tiliade comes from Nomad, the album Dan Auerbach produced, and it shows Bombino's playing at its most taut and rock-oriented. The track is a lean, bluesy rocker, and his leads are crisp and clean, with Stratocaster-style bite and quick, fluid phrases that sit tightly on the groove. The production gives the guitar more punch than on his earlier records, pulling it closer to Western blues rock without smoothing away its character. It remains one of the clearest entry points into his catalogue for rock listeners. Listen for the short, snapping phrases between vocal lines, where he packs a surprising amount of melody into a very small space.
