Moments Worth Listening For
The initial call-and-response on the title track where the bottleneck slide and the mohan veena first touch.
The way the tabla enters on 'Ganges Delta Blues', grounding the ethereal slide work into a rhythmic pulse.
The final, fading resonance of the strings on 'Isa Lei' that hangs in the air long after the music stops.
