It's a Guitar World is the title of a recording by Chet Atkins. Chet serves up a mixture of late 60s pop and world music. Harihar Rao adds sitar to "January in Bombay" and "Ranjana" with some interesting and also somewhat mystifying results. Recent hits by The Tijuana Brass - "A Taste of Honey" and "What Now My Love" also get covered here. It reached #19 on the Billboard Country Albums chart and #148 on the Pop Albums chart.
