Strunz/Farah
Desert Guitars
The Story
Strunz and Farah's "Desert Guitars" is an evocative compilation of pieces representing their Middle Eastern side gathered from their recordings, plus a new track, "Caspian Night". Guest artists include Hayadeh, L. Subramaniam, Bijan Mortazavi, Manoochehr Sadeghi, J.A. Racy, Charlie Bisharat and many more. Tracks are pulled from albums such as "Stringweave", "Wild Muse", "Rio De Colores", "Heat Of The Sun", "Frontera", "Mosaico", "Guitarras" and "Zona Torrida". A great introduction to the more exotic cuts in the band's repertoire.
