Day 0103 - Call of the Valley

Shivkumar Sharma, Brijbushan Kara, Hariprasad Chaurasia "Call of the Valley" (1967)



This is an album that many a hippy was said to have in their collection ...presumably next to their Grateful Dead and Moby Grape albums.  Call of the Valley contains Hindustani classical music championed by George Harrison, Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, David Crosby and many others.

There were so many western artists 'borrowing' from eastern music to inform their psychedelic 60s sounds that they kind of ended up paving the way for the originators of these sounds to become popular with a larger audience.
