Review

Rolling Stone (5/13/93, p.108) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...The similarities and differences of approach to their related instruments, based on the microtonal palette of the slide guitar, add up to a world-music stew that blends references from Delta blues to New Delhi..."
Q (6/93, p.94) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...Bhatt's slide playing is exquisite, searching and sensitive, captivatingly Indian in character while Cooder's bottleneck sounds as if he is truly responding to an artistic challenge and enjoying himself..."
Option (5-6/93, p.96) - "...[A MEETING BY THE RIVER is] one of the best settings imaginable for Ry Cooder's laid-back acoustic blues: a 40-minute set of improvisations with Bhatt..."
Musician (7/93, p.94) - "...an improvisational masterpiece...[Cooder and Bhatt] gracefully toss complex melodic ideas back and forth with a sympathy and intuitive sense that are nothing short of magical...why waste time trying to identify `highlights' on a treasure trove like this?..."
