2014 from the acclaimed guitarist. Indian music has it's roots in the ancient Vedic culture where it was originally used for religious and devotional purposes. Over the centuries it has developed into what we hear today. Even in the modern performance of ragas, the music still retains it's profound, devotional character and humility. It is a living music that has been personally handed down from teacher to disciple over centuries - and cannot be learned in any other way. The ancient yogis, through deep spiritual practice, were able to see the effect of music on all of life and developed ragas according to their experience and inner knowledge. The word raga means Inchthat which colors the mind.Inch Each raga has a particular scale and set of notes that are brought to life when performed correctly.

Dale Watson is a living legend of American roots music. With Texas-sized defiance and drive, he's spent four decades flying the flag for his own brand of honky-tonk, outlaw country, western swing, and rockabilly. That signature sound has a name - InchAmeripolitanInch - and it's originator is Watson himself a singer, songwriter, guitarist, producer, actor, cultural architect, and rule-breaking traditionalist for the modern world, championing the traditions that fly in the face of the homogenous mainstream. With Unwanted, he fires another double-barreled shotgun blast of country twang and honky-tonk bang fueled by the heartaches, hard-won lessons, and high-speed thrills of a life largely logged on the road. Singing with a booming voice that could cut through the chaos of a packed dancehall, Watson runs the show like a roots-rock ringleader. He salutes his vices on the galloping InchWillie Waylon and Whiskey,Inch reflects upon a lifetime of loss with the gorgeous ballad InchIf You Really Loved Me (Outlive Me),Inch and gets wistfully contemplative on InchLife is Like a Song.Inch Entirely written and produced by Watson, Unwanted is the sound of an Ameripolitan diehard with plenty of life left in the tank, speeding toward a horizon of his own making.
