    I didn't understand the lyrics, of course. But the music more than makes up for it. This album has some very beautiful guitar work. My favorite tracks are: Niamey Jam, Adinat, Her Tenere, and Imidiwan.

    Nomad is more than a beautiful offering for the world music crowd. It's the defining work of a guitar hero.

    A perfect match of sound and soul, the set introduces a new guitar hero, and confirms Auerbach's arrival as a roots-music producer to be reckoned with.

    A tremendous (and timely) distraction from the bad news from the desert this year. [May 2013, p.85]
