Robbie Basho - Rocky Mountain Raga (Album Version)

[@nugsymalone1247]

Sounds so meaningful to me, yet makes me want to cry. Its like the sound of meeting God

[@nlows420]

Makes me nostalgic for a time that may or may not have ever existed.

[@SkycladWanderer]

nlows420 Yup, I feel you. I get that same feeling from Francoise Hardy also. lol

[@KäptnZurSeee]

perfectly written. no better way to describe the feeling he creates.

[@hiraethsazrolling2860]

Jacob Kyle Can we also say Hiraeth in this case? Or it's only for the nostalgia of a place that never existed?

[@ceef8688]

Abe Simpson had a good quote about that, courting Marge's mother... "You know, you remind me of a poem I can't remember, and a song that may never have existed, and a place I've never been to." Very, very sweet sentiments in those first ten years.

[@nugsymalone1247]

I stand in awe with you brother

[@songsbyspence]

I saw Basho play at Stanford University with William Ackerman and Alex DeGrassi. It was a magical evening. I have always found this album among my very favorites, but I lost my copy and have not found another since. What a pleasure to know I can hear it here!

[@deinVater9983]

What year was that?

[@futuropasado]

I've not felt such a mystical feeling since Van Morrison's Astral Weeks... Like the artist is one with the universe for a few minutes. This is celestial, nature music.

[@nugsymalone1247]

How very right you are.

[@realitysimulator2304]

what a beautiful man

[@ayronmesserschmitt7856]

That may be the best possible description of the feeling Basho creates.

[@danear2]

Infinity feeling in each touch on a string

[@coolneighbour2936]

This album is being re-released as a CD on August 27, 2013, but it is a little pricey. Go to amazon for more info.

Are you calling again Colorado?

[@ceef8688]

basho is a smasho! Dylan, a villain.

[@sankalpabhattarai8616]

Is this just one guitar that robbie is playing or there is another guitarist too?

[@bottledspace]

Just one. There are some live versions on KZbin that sound almost identical without the violin.

[@Xx_BoogieBomber_xX]

@@bottledspace blows my mind that someone could play what's going on at 5:00 with just their two hands

[@Orcastruck]

My brother, you lack social skills and awareness. Go to your backyard and lay in the grass, the sun all around you.
