Review # 1 was written on 2016-02-06 00:00:00 Jacob McNutt A mixed bag of fact-filled, informative historical accounts of Indian music, juxtaposed with the author's own opinions that sometimes border on rantings. The author's scholarship in all things Hindustani music is as telling as his aversion to the other big form of music that we like down south in India. The introductory chapters that cover the initial history of Indian music and the Samaveda's influence on it, is actually great reading. It is a shame though, that the author cannot look beyond his own prejudices about Carnatic music.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-07-20 00:00:00 Alexander Vasich The high? His time as a stand-in atalaku. The low? Lyric analysis; White should be commended for putting together a readable book that balances a compelling personal story with academic rigour
