Free Music Notes for A Meeting by the River
Free Music Review: acknowledged masterpiece
Hit: 5 Stars
I love the easy flow and ambience of the fine playing here. Never has Cooder sounded better to my ear than on this one. And Bhatt is magnificent. I've been listening to this session for over ten years and still have it close, ready-to-hand, in my truck console.Free Music Review: An Experience for Everyone
Hit: 5 Stars
As a note, This review concerns the LP version, not the CD.
This is a remarkable effort on the part of Ry Cooder and V.M. Bhatt. A fusion of Ry's blues soaked Delta and Latin American influences on the slide guitar, and Bhatt's transcendental music. The recording is basic but superb, capturing a conversation between musicians and cultures. The sound is perfectly produced, the instruments find a wonderful balance, allowing each to speak but never to overpower one another.
This recording is one for everyone, one few will find fault with, and an experience that certainly should not be missed. This is one of my favorite Cooder recordings, on par, if not better, then his work with Ali Farka Toure.

Being a yoga teacher, I am always on the lookout for new music for my classes. This CD has only just come to light for me - and it is superb. It is also soothing in the car, and my two very energetic dogs love it as well, especially on road trips. Ry Cooder is a class act,an expert musician, and the combination of Indian instruments with his blues style acoustics are a delight.Free Music Review: One of the best CD's you will ever listen to

I used to have this CD years ago, as a teenager i loved how the melodic blues scales used to just ease with the sitars and tubla's on this album, I could never remember when a song started or stopped but i never really wanted it to stop.
I lost it a few years ago sadly whilst movie around for college, and having just bought it again its quite nostalgic. A time when i remember not having much of a care in the world to now being a responsible adult and finally sharing this album with a person I am in love with.
I hope to keep this album for many years, it has been a huge part of my life.

If I had to choose one CD to take with me on a desert island this would be it. Sublime!
