Bollywood Steel Guitar is the most comprehensive collection
to date of Steel Guitar pop instrumental music from India.

All 21 tracks featured here were Film hits from 1962-1986
and all the masters of the steel guitar sound from the period
are represented: Van Shipley, Kazi Aniruddha, S. Hazarasingh,
Sunil Ganguly, and Charanjit Singh. An entirely different
approach that rocks, swings, and grooves through some of
India's most beloved film tunes, the electric steel guitar as
instrument transforms the already infectious melodies into a
multitude of higher sound dimensions. This CD was compiled
and carefully selected from rare LPs over several years by
Stuart Ellis.

Here are some excerpts from his liner notes:
The term "Bollywood" originally referred to the Bombay
(now known as Mumbai) Hindi language film industry.
Although there are a number of other studios that produce
films in other languages, more recently the definition has
been expanded in the West to describe pretty much all films
produced on the sub-continent.
But where in most countries a film's soundtrack would
merely be used as a promotional tool for the film, in India,
film music has become an industry unto itself with playback
singers and dance numbers. The music is just as important
as the film and lives on long after the film has left the
theaters.

These songs are, for the most part, the pop music of India.
As with most popular music, other artists sometimes recorded
cover versions of these songs.
Of these musicians, a small number specialized in instrumental
arrangements and created what could be called the elevator
music of India.
While there were a few who used the harmonium or mouth organ,
the most popular instrument used in these instrumental favorites
was the steel guitar.
