Densmore, More, More

What's John Densmore up to these days? According to contactmusic.com he has partnered with Iranian singer Reza Derakshani "to record a new album full of ancient sounds." Here's a little more: "The two friends collected ancient instruments from all over the world to play on new album RAY OF THE WINE. Featured instruments include the Tar, Sehtar, the bowed Tarmanche and Kamanche, as well as a bamboo flute, known as the Ney." That's going to be a big, big hit. Tapping into the World Beat is a very Advanced thing to do, by the way.
