Product Description

Classic Rock, (Henry Yates), November 2008

(8/10 stars) It's like nothing else you'll hear this year...music designed to soothe your soul and move the feet.

The Observer, (Neil Spencer), September 28, 2008

Touches most bases of an eclectic career...a reminder that the blues is about joy as much as misery. Maestro? Absolutely.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb record, here's to the next forty years!, 6 Oct 2008
By G. E. Harrison (Cheltenham) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This CD celebrates Taj's 40 years in the biz and mainly follows on from his 90s records like 'Phantom Blues', 'Senor Blues' and 'Dancing the blues' which were all very accessible with lots of uptempo R&B covers. I'd say this CD is even better than those records, a great mix of blues, R&B and world music offering great variety, good songs and wonderful playing. Apparently it's Taj's first new recording in five years and he certainly sounds really fresh and raring to go.

We get off to a great start with Slim Harpo's "Scratch my back" done Stax style courtesy of the Phantom Blues Band (Wot no harp?). They also finish off the record with a great version of the Willie Dixon/Captain Beefheart song "Diddy Wah Diddy". Jack Johnson appears as a guest on Taj's "Further On Down The Road" but doesn't add a great deal whereas Ben Harper and Ziggy Marley both fit in great with Taj on "Dust me down" and "Black Man Brown Man". Kora player Toumani Diabate and Angelique Kidjo guest on the exotic "Zanzibar" and then it's back to the blues with Taj singing and playing harp with Los Lobos on a swinging version of Big Joe Turner's "TV Mama". The New Orleans Social Club back Taj on Fats Domino's "Hello Josephine" (which appeared on the Fats tribute CD 'Goin' Home') but I particularly love their contribution to the funky "I Can Make You Happy", with Henry Butler and Ivan Neville's keyboards being outstanding. "Strong Man Holler" is a moody slow blues with Taj playing some nice harp and "Slow Drag", with Taj on banjo, sounds like an out-take from one of his early 70s records.

What a wonderful way to celebrate 40 years of making great music, I just hope we get to see him touring the record in the UK soon.

4.0 out of 5 stars Maestro, Taj Mahal - What a great way to celebrate!, 9 Oct 2009
By Victor Tugelbend (Hull, England) - See all my reviews
  
It's now 40 years since the Blues legend that is Taj Mahal started his recording career. And to celebrate he has produced this great album. The tracks are really a retrospective of his career, we have the great straight blues of 'Scratch My Back' and Willie Dixon's 'Diddy Wah Diddy', mixed in with his African roots music in tracks such as 'Zanzibar'. The blend of styles work, and the album comes together as a decent whole.

The musicianship is excellent, the song writing and choice of tracks is very strong, and Taj is on fine form, both on vocals and guitar. It has the sound of someone who is still enjoying making great music, and the enthusiasm is infectious. This is a CD that gets played a lot. This album may well come to be regarded as a classic in the great man's canon. Hopefully there's still plenty more where this came from!

Recommended for any fan of blues/roots/gospel.

5.0 out of 5 stars TAJ MAJESTIC, 23 April 2009
By S. E. Heath "Mike" (Stoupa, Greece) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Another stunning performance from Taj Mahal. His ability to deliver in his wide range of styles shows no sign of diminishing. Blues, soul, proper R & B and reggae with a touch of West Africa. Magic
