Chim Kothari: Sound Of Sitar
Posted on January 27, 2006 by hcrink
An early "Sitar-sploitation" record on Deram from 1966 which has much more of an MOR pop sound that stuff like Ananda Shankar which would come later. There are two originals on here that are in a Raga sort of mode, but it's mostly comprised of pop covers of the day. The Sitar is superimposed over the rest of the instruments which adds a nice bit of cheesiness. A good example of this can be heard on his version of "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me".
