Sure it was the album title which attracted my attention, plus the feeling that the dude looked really high on the picture.
Little did I know that Dead Men Don't Smoke Marijuana would be such a delight of Palm Wine sweetness and Blues melodies blending in what can be best described as a cocktail of joy for the soul.
Of course like most people I had never heard of Sooliman Ernest Rogers until I stumble upon His smiling face on the cover and told myself : "with such a title, it MUST be a cool album!".
Guess what: I was sooo right.
To be honest, I am very picky when it comes to African music... I need to be charmed, to be driven out of the ordinary.
Needless to say, there ain't many african records posted In Times Like These...!!! , however this album deserves a place of honor.
Unfortunately, this was also the last disc S.E Rogie recorded shortly before he passed away in Russia while performing onstage, back in 1994. R.I.P
