Maxwell has played keys for many blues legends. Here, he’s gone world, meshing Indian, African and Western sounds into a great collection of INSTRUMENTAL tunes. Instrumentation of oud, mohan veena, raita, percussion, guitar, bass, piano. Solid throughout. No FCC’s.
*My Favorites*: 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12.
1. *(4:52) Mid. East-meets-West blues w/ great perc, keys.
2. *(4:24) Mid. Bitches Brew-ish w/ African, Indian vibes.
3. (2:08) Mid. Sparse w/ classical guitar & piano.
4. (5:44) Mid. Easy-going vibe, mostly West w/ slight East.
5. *(4:11) Mid. Down-home mourner piano blues w/ elec gtr.
6. *(5:26) Mid. Lots of stuff here - marimba? flute? very bluesy.
7. (1:36) Mid. Piano, gtr, bagpipes? Cool.
8. *(7:48) Slow / Mid. Raga w/ perc, woodwind, keys, chimes.
9. (4:02) Slow / Mid. Meditative w/ oud, piano.
10. *(4:34) Mid. Upbeat, bluesy rocker.
11. *(5:19) Slow. Dark vibe, eastern blues, ethereal.
12. *(6:15) Slow / Mid. Sparse blues w/ piano, gtr.
13. (0:40) Mid. Piano and raita.
