East Meets West



I would have thought putting a blues artist and a traditional perisan singer together would not have worked but how wrong could I be! Mighty Sam McLain and Mahsa Vahdat collaborated on an album Scent of Reunion: Love Duets Across Civilisations and the result is a truly superb album. Buy it, hear it *but perhaps not staeal it), you will not be sorry!
