A Raga For Peter Walker

"Peter Walker was actually a bigger influence on my acoustic playing than John Fahey or Robbie Basho." - Ben Chasny, Six Organs of Admittance

Peter Walker recorded two "American folk raga" albums in the 60's and was "musical director" for Dr. Timothy Leary's "Celebrations." His first recordings in 37 years appear on A Raga For Peter Walker, alongside tips of the hat from those under the influence : James Blackshaw, Thurston Moore, Jack Rose, Greg Davis, Steffen Basho-Junghans and Shawn David McMillen. He'll tour for the first time since the 60's with Jack Rose in November and December.

"Peter Walker plays on the ancient protean strings of the genetic code" - Dr. Timothy Leary
