Day 0192 - Ananda Shankar

Ananda Shankar "Ananda Shankar" (1970)

 
Sitar rock! A fun album.  Some of the cover songs feel a bit gimmicky, but the drawn out electric ragas and the tracks that rely more on India's music culture rather than western music are great. 

Again I have to say that the music industry was much more interesting back then.  Seeing that along with the usual rock, pop and soul albums, you get high-selling instrumental jazz albums, 'world music' and a bunch of other less 'song based' releases selling big.
