Robbie Basho - Twilight Peaks

This is originally released in '85 but I think it has been reissued recently. This one is easily my favorite Basho stuff, although almost all of his albums are equally amazing. Guitar. Raga. Basho. Paradise.

Robbie Basho - Venus in Cancer

Robbie Basho released Venus in Cancer in 1969 on the Blue Thumb label. After five albums for the Takoma label in the 60's, Basho had cemented his reputation alongside John Fahey and Leo Kottke as one of the most brilliant guitarists of his generation. His wide range of musical influences from around the globe set him apart from other blues-based players, incorporating Arabic, Himalayan and Indian themes, Japanese and Chinese scales, and classical and European folk music. All are on magnificent display on this sprawling, spiritually-charged album.
