Post Description

Taj's Blues album by Taj Mahal was released Jun 30, 1992 on the Legacy label. This is part of the Roots N' Blues Contemporary Blues Masters series. Taj's Blues songs Taj Mahal incorporates more roots and influences in his music than most of his peers put together. He's a bluesman who combines jazz, folk and gospel with rhythms from the Caribbean, Africa and the Mississippi Delta. From the funky opening of "Leaving Trunk" to the final slow and sultry slide of "Country Blues #1," TAJ'S BLUES is full of treats. It offers a swift, definitive version of "Statesboro Blues," then a bit of Memphis with the rhythm and bluesy "Everybody's Got To Change Sometime," and later returns to the heart of the Delta with "Dust My Broom." TAJ'S BLUES also includes an acoustic medley from the film "Sounder." This compilation covers the years 1967-1974. Includes liner notes by Taj Mahal, as interviewed by Mark A. Humphrey. Personnel: Taj Mahal (vocals, whistling, guitar, dobro, harmonica); The Pointer Sisters (vocals); Ry Cooder, Jessie Edwin Davis (guitar); Al Kooper (piano); James Thomas, Gary Gilmore (bass); Chuck Blackwood, Earl Palmer, Sanford Konikoff (drums).
