I was inspired to make this mix after hearing slipperyhangdoglook's wonderful Indian-Western fusion mix, "India Thing #1". My mix is calmer in general than his; I suppose that just comes out of my appr …

My three favorite American solo artists strut their stuff (sorry, Sophie B. Hawkins, you need to release more albums!). In chronological order of recording, 1970-2003, or close to it; with, say, You An …
