		Some sounded like quickly arranged marriage of Western music with Baul lyrics, the background music didn't add any life to the lyrics in these cases.
		I would recommend this CD to serious Baul music fans like me, but if you are looking for an introductory Baul album then you will be much better off buying a Lalon Fokir, kirton or "Marefoti" music.
