Notes on back cover-

"Dear Folks,
Fora long time I have been wanting to compile my songs, written through the years, into an album. At last I got down to it - with a set of brilliant musicians and a team of recording engineers. These songs convey my sentiments and interpretations of situations around me. I am not trying to preach in my songs but want to share my feelings with you. Having Experimented in various forms in folk music, there are songs in this album which are the result of this experiment. They are both beautiful songs. The 'Baul' (the folk song of Bengal) written my Kazi Nazrul Islam has had a great impact on me. Viva La Quinte Brigada is a song of the Spanish Civil War and has been recorded before by someone whom I regard with great respect - Pete Seeger.

I take this opportunity to thank all who helped me to make this dream of recording ome true - and especially Bob Dylan who inspired me a great deal in my music."
