Re: Desert Island Disks In no particular order Hejira - JM Astral Weeks -Van Morrison Songs in the Key of Life - Stevie Wonder Caravanserai - Santana Chicago Transit Authority - Chicago Blood - This Mortal Coil Hatful of Hollow - Smiths Girls, Girls, Girls -Elvis Costello (if no compilations, This Year's Model) Blue Valentine - Tom Waits Blood on the Tracks - Bob Dylan I had to leave out a lot (yeah, yeah, yeah) and so I'd like to propose another list of 'fusion' albums. 'Fusion' here means people doing stuff from other musical cultures, including two people doing 'crossover' stuff (see the first 4 for examples). This would NOT include Ella and Louis doing Porgy and Bess. Passages - Philip Glass and Ravi Shankar Officium - Jan Garbarek and the Hilliard Ensemble Ragas and Sagas - Jan Garbarek and Ustad Fateh Ali Khan A Meeting By The River - Ry Cooder and V.M. Bhatt The Sweetest Punch / Painted From Memory - Frisell, Costello, Bacharach Secret Story - Pat Metheny LSO The Juliet Letters - Elvis Costello and The Brodski Quartet The Concert for Garcia Lorca - Ben Sidran (& Garcia Lorca) West Side Story - Leonard Bernstein Canciones de mi Padre - Linda Ronstadt (help me, I'm winging it here.)
