Album:Fingering the Devil

Sir Richard Bishop has named Lebanese songwriter Elias Rahbani and Egyptian guitarist Omar Khorsid as the primary inspirations behind his latest (and thoroughly excellent) release.

Album:
These five new guitar compositions of Sir Richard Bishop's merge seamlessly with the North African and Middle-Eastern re-interpretations that make up half of this new record. The sources range from Lebanese musician Elias Rahbani's lightfooted 'Ka'an Azzaman' to Egyptian singer Mohamed Abdel Wahab's soft ode to devotion 'Enta Omri', made famous by legendary singer Oum Kalthoum.
