This CD is in our top ten list. Bill Barns plays the most amazing sitar on this wonderful instrumental CD. At first we assumed that there were two or three sitars but actually it's just Bill Barns playing some really sublime sitar. All thirteen tracks are from Paramahansa Yogananda's book, Cosmic Chants. Each track is played with Bill's unique style; a seamless Indian and Western blend. Ever New Joy is played with a rocking, rhythmic joy, while Where is There Love is sublime and mesmerizing. This is a great album to use during meditations. Tracks:
