If you ignore 'The Rising Sons' as a collection of previously unreleased studio out-takes, following your first album 'Taj Mahal' without the wonderful Ry Cooder on guitar would have been a scary prospect for most artists, but not for Taj! While Cooder was absent recording his own (and contributing to a virtual who's who of 70's blues, rock and country) albums and declining a place in the Rolling Stones after teaching Keith Richards the wonders of openG guitar tuning, Taj Mahal simply recruited Jesse Ed Davis!
Davis' excellent playing helped Taj Mahal present us with something amazing - a glimpse of what it might have been like (if recording had been of this quality) to hear the best elderly blues musicians in their much younger days.
If you like blues and soul, and you allow this album to grow on you, it could well demand a place in your top twenty - trust me, it's that good!

This was the first Taj album I bought so I didn't realise that it was perhaps a bit of a departure from his style at that time.
Despite the attempts to "produce" most of the tracks survive and the rawness of his early style battles through. Interesting to note that just about the only real blues in "The Blues Brothers" is "She Caught the Katy"
The USA version has been re-mastered with new tracks, perhaps this will be available soon and make this easier to get. If the the first and third are in your collection buy it when you can.

I'm not even sure how or why I managed to stumble upon The Natch'l Blues by Taj Mahal. But it has changed my musical outlook. This is a staggeringly brilliant album - and one that I now can't live without.
