Just get the 2xLP 'Ragas' with him and Ali Akbar Khan. Awesome.

I love his stuff, but there are some other Indian musicians I love even more.

Brij Bhushan Kabra's work with integrating modified slide guitar into Indian classical music is incredible.
I also just picked up a mint copy of a late 60s LP by Lakshmi Shankar, who is a great female vocalist in the raga tradition.
Also, Pandit Pran Nath's vocal raga work is masterful, and through his work he is considered one of the fathers of modern minimalism. Truly astounding.
Ashish Khan is incredible as well.
If anyone can find an LP on Nonesuch called "The Pulse Of Tanam," get it immediately! This is an LP of Vina solos; the vina is an incredible instrument of India, and these Nonesuch LPs are great and never very expensive.

any ravi shankar is a good place to start, they're all awesome.

i got to see ravi last year, the dude's only gotten better. it was unbelievable.

monterry's a really good album, some of my other favorites are:
sound of the sitar
the sounds of india
india's master musician
portrait of a genius
anything with him and yehudi menuhin
transformation macabre (creepy noise soundtrack album)

yeah it's true, thats pretty weird. her real name is Geetali Norah Jones Shankar.

if you like ravi check out his master Allaudin khan, and his kid Ali Akbar Khan.

thanks savage clones for the recomendations, i'll be sure to check out those other people.

Yeah the Ali Akbar Khan album is awesome it has a dueling banjos feel to it.
The Jehudi Mehudin stuff is great as well. I have Ravi live in NY on vinyl original press & that's a dope album.

Edit: Just realized the Hell's Angels make a cameo at about 2:50. We've a got an ex-Hell's Angel that lives at the end of the block. Strange fellow.
