Description

Taj Mahal has become a blues ambassador, carrying the music to new audiences and melding it with other influences. It is 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 Circus. This box emphasises (but is not limited to) Taj's early career--the late-1960s through the mid-'70s--and whether he's playing solo acoustic instrumentals ("Buck Dancer's Choice"), revving up a rock band ("Statesboro Blues") or weaving his National Steel guitar around tubas ("Sweet Mama Janisse"), the blues elementmore… is never far from centre. He even brings out the Pointer Sisters, who funkify the blues standard, "Sweet Home Chicago". The latter part of the box ventures into the 1980s and '90s, and features some songs for kids. Taj Mahal makes a world gumbo of the blues, spiced with a nice hot sauce. --Robert Gordon
