"Ravi has a fine, richly
textured voice and a degree of mastery of his instrument that calls
to mind early Clapton and Duane Allman" "With the release of this CD, Ravi is bound to
appease not only the extremely eager fan base he acquired with Hanson,
but also fans of well-executed pop" "Midway through the disc, we get an interesting
acoustic interpretation of the Hendrix classic “Little Wing.” It's
a simple solo interpretation with a funky jazz feeling. Sounds like
something you'd hear in a coffeehouse or small jazz café environment."
"Ravi's music is carefully thought through, sprinkled
with interesting details. His lyrics have multiple meanings
and reveal new nuances on repeated listenings. It gives increased
pleasure on each hearing" "Beyond the Blur...is a showcase of (Ravi's) skills
as a writer... "Great music on here...a very talented musician."
