"Sandy Bull took us all by storm in the 1960s. We had never heard anything like it and we loved it. From the guitar tour de force Memphis to the stunning beauty of Manha de Carnival we were enthralled. The blending of Raga and Lebanese music and driving rock was so fresh. The banjo work with its' combining of picking and frailing just rocked banjo players back on their heels. Whether the Beatles got the idea of using Raga here or not, most of the rest of us did! I had the privilege of exchanging E-Mails with him before he died and found him to be a warm and friendly guy...not at all the hermit that '60s rumor had him to be. The album sounds as fresh and new today as it did then...nearly. I just can't imagine a music collection without it."
