Ry Cooder & V.M. Bhatt - A Meeting By The River - Analogue Productions LP
180 Gram Vinyl, Double LP Cut at 45 RPM
One of the most beloved audiophile recordings ever made. A Meeting by the River documents a first-ever encounter between American slide-guitar master Ry Cooder and Indian Mohan veena virtuoso Vishwa Mohan Bhatt — two musicians who met less than an hour before the tape rolled and improvised the entire album on the spot. Recorded direct to analog by Water Lily Acoustics and joined by Joachim Cooder on dumbek and Sukhvinder Singh Namdhari on tabla, the result is a spacious, hypnotic East-meets-West conversation of extraordinary intimacy. This Analogue Productions reissue, cut at 45 RPM across two 180-gram LPs, preserves every shimmer of string and breath of air.
