Details: Digitally remastered edition of this 1968 album. Peter Walker's album, SECOND POEM TO KARMELA or GYPSIES ARE IMPORTANT was a ground breaking blend of Folk, Raga, Psychedelia, Eastern and Modal sounds that has remained unsung for decades. While his debut album for Vanguard, RAINY DAY RAGA, has been reissued several times on LP and CD, this album remains an obscure and hard to find vinyl relic. Carefully re-mastered from the original tapes, guitar scholar Glenn Jones recently interviewed Peter Walker for hours and has written a book-deep essay for the CD and LP liner notes that detail Walkers association with an incredible cross-section of 1960s counter-culture icons including LSD guru Timothy Leary, he studied raga music with Ali Akbar Khan, and like his close friend Sandy Bull, Walker worked on a fusion of Western and Eastern sounds. Remastered from the original stereo 1/4 tapes.
