HPR All Things Considered Host Dave Lawrence welcomes back a guitar legend in our latest Road Stories interview: John McLaughlin! Returning for his sixth chat with Dave, one of the guitar’s most celebrated player offers a new chapter in one of his groundbreaking projects, Shakti, the acoustic Indian group that originated after Mahavishnu Orchestra in the 1970s. We hear about their first studio album in 45 years, This Moment, continuing their fusion of Indian music, jazz and blistering improvisations. John also shares the remarkable story of how Shakti first came together by chance through a highly influential get-together in 1972, and talks about Shakti's most bizarre concerts, a run of dates in 1977 opening for Black Sabbath! Tomorrow we learn about John's connections to the late Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton and even Johnny Depp!
