Product Description
From Amazon.com
In the late 1990s, a whole slew of young guitarists emerged, all making a grab for the Stevie Ray Vaughan mantle. In this group, one must include Mato Nanji, guitarist for the family venture Indigenous. Unlike many of his predecessors, Mato Nanji may actually be deserving of the honor. That's a bold statement, but a listen to "Begin to Wonder," the instrumental "Holdin' Out," or especially "Nothing I Can Do" off of Things We Do are sufficient to justify it. The album opens with the low-key, midtempo title track, but it's on "Got to Tell You" that Things We Do really hits its stride. On the whole, this CD is a very strong effort, especially for musicians still in their early 20s. --Genevieve Williams

So glad I found this band!
Jun 24 2004
Format:Audio CD
What an amazing band... I'm so glad to see they have three CDs out now. I only own two, but I'll have the third by tomorrow. They just keep cranking out the blues and each song is more impressive than the last. There's an obvious influence from Stevie Ray Vaughn as many people have said, but they definitely bring their own style to the music and it's something you'll enjoy many times over. Add it to your iPod because you'll want to take them everywhere!
Blues-Rock!

Format:Audio CD
It's great when a band can take obvious influences and then add something that is all their own. Just the case with Indigenous, who take a cue from Stevie of course, but also have a certain magic that they bring to the table with it. Mato Nanji is certainly one of the best blues-rock guitarists out there today, but he's not afraid to add in more of a contemporary songwriting edge to the music. Combining acoustic work, strong melody, and the gritty "Vaughn-esque" lead work on ballads and rockers alike, they really have shown that you can take something and make it your own.
ONE OF MY FAVOURITE CD'S
April 11 2003
Format:Audio CD
Having read about MATO NANJI I bought this CD on hear say. Well
what a positive surprise. This has turned into one of mine and more surprisingly my wife's ( we don't often see eye to eye on musik ) favourite CD's. Everyone I've played this for has fallen
in love with this CD. My niece at 18 loves it, my wifes best friend at 55 loves it and even the disco babes in the office love it. This crosses many boundaries of musical tastes and satisfies just about everyones tastes. This is even more surprising as it is not a compromise CD in any way, it makes a statement about the ability of these talented native indians as song writers, musicians and entertainers. INDIGENOUS may be one of the most important bands to emerge out of the USA in many years. The musik leans towards the blues ( SRV and HENDRIX ) but has enough depth to [take] in even non BLUES lovers. Every song is a killer and the musik will grow on you for month on end.
A must have CD for any musik fan.
