Chad, the "A Meeting by the River" could be an excellent choice for
several reasons. I've not heard the vinyl version but have owned the CD for
many years and expect the LP is even better. Even on CD, the sonics are
wonderful (thanks to Kavi Alexander). The music is what must be classified as
World Music due to the Indian influence; it is rhythmic, detailed, percussive, and
intricate with exciting interplay between Cooder and Bhatt. Finally, because it is
out of the realm of what your dad typically listens to, it is almost certain he does
not have it on CD.
And I should ad that everyone I've played it for has enjoyed it.
