Search - Peter Walker :: Rainy Day Raga

This was Peter Walker's first album, released in 1966. Often mentioned in the same breath as John Fahey, Robbie Basho and Leo Kottke, Walker's work was greatly influenced by Indian classical and Spanish flamenco traditions. He studied with Ravi Shankar and Ali Akbar Kahn, worked with Timothy Leary and was a close friend of Sandy Bull and Karen Dalton. This is mastered from new transfers from the original master tapes. The sleeve note is based on a recent interview with Walker. Look out for Walker's second album Second Poem To Karmela later in the year.
