andere meinten:

"A strong collaborative effort with Indian classical player, Bhatt and multiculti acoustic blues whizkid, Ry Cooder. Cooder is almost out of his depth here, seeking to match his slide style to the uniquely complex tonalities of Indian classical music. But the respectfulness with which he approaches it, and the restraint he shows in his playing place him leagues above any sitar-wielding wannabees you can imagine. Bhatt and Cooder hit a gorgeously sympathetic groove, with Cooder subsuming himself to the classical style for the first half of the disc, then moving in the second part to more overtly define the melodies in terms of the Delta blues riffs that he is a master of. "Isa Lei," the dreamy Hawaiian/acoustic folk instrumental which rounds the record off, is pure beauty. You should give this one a try. " (quelle: slipcue.com)

"Das großartige Session-Projekt von 1993 von Ry Cooder (Bottleneck-Gitarre) und V.M. Bhatt (Mohan Vina, das indische Pendant) mit Sukhwinder Singh Namdhari (Tablas) und Joachim Cooder (Dumbek, indische Trommel), eine der gelungensten East-Meets-West-Kollaborationen, gibt es wieder regulär auf dem deutschen Markt (war eine geraume Zeit nur als relativ teurer US-Direkt-Import zu haben). Hervorragende stilübergreifende Musik in exzellenter Klangqualität! "Isa Lei" von dieser Platte diente übrigens auch als Score-Musik im Film "Dead Man Walking".

jedoch: nicht jeder ist überzeugt:
"I accidently bought this album thinking it was the Ali Farka Toure collaboration, which I had heard before and loved. This one was a little bit of a let-down. There are only four songs, and only one of them could I really distinguish from the others, Ganges Delta Blues. The album is a little short in play time, and a little short on imagination. Ry is a master of understatement with the guitar, and his playing just can't be heard or affect in any way Bhatt's music. It's a "Meeting by the River" alright, but these two fellas jumped in together for a swim and I'm afraid poor Ry drowned. " (kunde bei amazon.com)
