  27. Release Notes:
  28.  
  29. Doug Cox and Salil Bhatt's first album SLIDE TO
  30. FREEDOM was a genuine musical landmark, brilliant
  31. players successfully marrying rural roots
  32. traditions from opposite sides of the planet.
  33. Mississippi Delta meets Ganges Delta. Their latest
  34. collaboration, powered once again by the tablas of
  35. Ramkumesh Kumar and guest appearances by Salil's
  36. esteemed Grammy-winning father Vishwa Mohan Bhatt,
  37. proves conclusively that this musical intermarriage
  38. was not just a stunt but the start of a new world
  39. genre.s
  40.  
  41. MAKE A BETTER WORLD is even better than its
  42. predecessor, thanks in large part to vocals by New
  43. Orleans soul singer John Boutte that take things
  44. all the way down the Mississippi, to the foot of
  45. Canal Street in the French Quarter, without ever
  46. losing their back-country flavour. Call them
  47. Planetary Po' Boys. The
  48. brand-new-but-instantly-timeless sound they all
  49. create together makes the point that all over the
  50. world, the rural poor and the urban poor all sing
  51. the same blues, all yearn for the same things.
  52. Musical communication like this is one of the
  53. surest ways to make a better world.
