 | Maestro [Read More ...]
Description: The mythology of American blues is filled with images of the lone musician standing at the crossroads, caught in that gray area between light and shadow, cutting impossible deals with dark forces, offering up nothing less than his soul as collateral. Composer and multi-instrumen... |

New Taj Fan:I will admit I'm a new Taj Mahal Fan. I met him at a private party several years ago and saw him again at the same annual party last fall.
I enjoy his music and this 2 CD set is good driving tunes.

 | The Best of Taj Mahal [Read More ...]
Description: Taj Mahal's been chasing the blues around the world for years, but rarely with the passion, energy, and clarity he brought to his first three albums. Taj Mahal, The Natch'l Blues and The Real Thing are the sound of the artist, who was born in 1942, defining himself and his music.... |
 | Kulanjan [Read More ...]
Description: Perennial blues road warrior Taj Mahal and Malian kora (harp-lute) ambassador Toumani Diabate join forces, blend textures, and intermingle idioms on this cleanly produced 12-song set, recorded in 1998 in Athens. Their common ground is best tilled on "Atlanta Kaira" and the title ... |

Description: Taj Mahal's been chasing the blues around the world for years, but rarely with the passion, energy, and clarity he brought to his first three albums. Taj Mahal, The Natch'l Blues and The Real Thing are the sound of the artist, who was born in 1942, defining himself and his music.... |

 | Dancing the Blues [Read More ...]
Description: On this 1993 album produced by John Porter, Taj Mahal applies his revivalist instincts and remarkably pliable voice to the classic rhythm & blues styles of the 1940s through the '60s. The program ranges from T-Bone Walker ("Hard Way") and Howlin' Wolf ("Sitting on Top of the Worl... |
 | Giant Step/De Ole Folks at Home [Read More ...]
Description: One of the more woefully underappreciated blues artists of the last three decades, Taj Mahal has consistently made great records that combine his extensive knowledge of roots music with a refreshingly non-elitist sensibility. Giant Step/De Ole Folks At Home from 1969 was Taj's co... |
 | Senor Blues [Read More ...]
Review: This is WORLD CLASS MUSIC!:This is an amazing, original, varied, heart grabbing, booty shaking, head bobbing CD. This is the disc that could turn any music fan onto Taj. It comes through on the promise of Blues, Rock, World Music, and just plain human-Being expression. It has it ... |
 | The Real Thing [Read More ...]
Description: Taj Mahal's been chasing the blues around the world for years, but rarely with the passion, energy, and clarity he brought to his first three albums. Taj Mahal, The Natch'l Blues and The Real Thing are the sound of the artist, who was born in 1942, defining himself and his music.... |
 | Big Blues: Blues Music for Kids [Read More ...]
Kids feel the rhythm.:The amazon.com list of tracks gives the names of the composers instead of the performers, who are listed on the cover. The tunes are kid-friendly, but they're the real thing. Fun for bopping in the car to. Really gets everyone feeling the rhythm. |
 | Oooh So Good N'Blues/Recycling the Blues [Read More ...]
Review: Ooooooh Soooooo Goooooooooood:I had heard this album (Oh so good n blues) on vinyl at a friends place and always loved it...but could never find it.......kept looking and here it is! There are several tracks on this album that have people saying, 'is that taj mahal?' i didnt know... |
 | Giant Step/De Ole Folks at Home [Read More ...]

 | In Progress & in Motion: 1965-1998 [Read More ...]
Description: Taj Mahal has become a blues ambassador, carrying the music to new audiences and melding it with other influences. It's altogether appropriate, then, that three of the early tracks on this three-CD set are unreleased from the Rolling Stones 1968 musical experiment, Rock and Roll ... |
 | Phantom Blues [Read More ...]
Description: This 1996 album picks up where Dancing the Blues left off three years earlier, with producer John Porter and most of the same studio cast. There's more of a New Orleans flavor this time, with barrelhouse pianist Jon Cleary contributing a couple of originals to go with such classi... |
 | Sacred Island [Read More ...]
Description: After decades as a bluesman, Taj Mahal has earned his place in the pantheon of American music. But this takes him to a slightly different place: Hawaii, where he made his home for a number of years. He's always had a relaxed approach to music, and the Islands must have been a per... |
 | Shake Sugaree: Taj Mahal Sings And Plays For Children [Read More ...]
Description: Folk blues may not seem to be the stuff of a children's album, but this award-winning 1988 disc consists of a delightful series of songs for kids despite (or because of?) its blue roots. Mahal sets an intimate, storytelling mood with his casual introductions, and the spontaneous ... |
 | Mo' Roots [Read More ...]
Description: On this 1974 recording, Taj Mahal ventures beyond blues and soul to explore the Caribbean side of his heritage. He sings in Spanish on "Why Did You Have to Desert Me?", translates the Anglo folk song "Blackjack Davey" to reggae, and covers the Slickers ("Johnny Too Bad") and Bob ... |
 | Hanapepe Dream [Read More ...]
Description: Though he earned earliest acclaim as a blues traditionalist, Taj Mahal is no purist. Instead, he's an eclectic artist who finds common spirit with the blues in a multicultural array of styles. This album's acoustic arrangements lace the ukuleles, slack and steel guitars of Hawaii... |
 | Etta Baker with Taj Mahal [Read More ...]
Review: Etta James and Taj:Great CD of Etta James. Taj's name appears to be more of a tagline to introduce his fans to her music. Got me so it works! I expected to hear Taj sing or be able to distinguish his guitar playing, but neither happen. Yet I'm captivated by the slow picking, t... |
