Taj Mahal

Taj Mahal brings old and new sounds to blues in his 1968 debut. Taj Mahal embraces his virtuosity on the guitar and sets the foundation for the future of his unique interpretations of the genre.

TajMo marks a timely convergence of the talents of two unique American artists who've already built iconoclastic individual legacies that have extended and expanded blues traditions into adventurous new territory. The collaboration brings out the best in both artists, with the pair merging their distinctive voices, personalities and guitar styles to create vibrant, immediate music that's firmly rooted in tradition yet ruled by a playful sense of adventure. The album features guest appearances by Sheila E., Joe Walsh, Lizz Wright and Bonnie Raitt, who lends her voice to a distinctive cover of John Mayer's anthemic 'Waiting on the World to Change'.

Giant Step/De Ole Folks at Home is the third studio album by American blues artist Taj Mahal.

Taj Mahal and Keb' Mo', two generations of American blues masters, reunite to release their second album together, Room On The Porch, following their GRAMMY Award winning album, TajMo (2017).

Harlem folkie wonder-cum-Chicago Blues badass Taj Mahal gets the legend treatment for his 70th birthday: Columbia has decided to honor the singer/songwriter/storytellers back pages with a hidden treasures release. Its a long, sweaty affair. Underlying it all, and no matter the kind of music hes playing, when Mahal sings he comes on like the black Bob Dylan: unmannered, guttural, loose but bold, toying with beginnings and endings of lines, at once interpretive of the masters but unlike anything heard before. If you prefer your Soul music with some gristle, and maybe fried in some -Bacon Fat,î then these rarities from early-era Taj is just the ticket.

Taj Mahal, a repository of the musical traditions of the West African Diaspora in the New World, teams with Hindustani wizard of the mohan vina, V.M. Bhatt and Karnatak virtuoso of the chitra vina, N. Ravikiran. Their interpretation of popular Afro-American songs drawn from various genres is a unique musical synthesis.

Taj Mahal can rightfully be called a living legend for his contributions to popular music.

In less than 24 months, Taj Mahal (guitars/vocals/banjo/harmonica) had issued the equivalent of four respective long players.

Taj Mahal and Ry Cooder reunite in 2022 to release their first collaboration album in 57 years, since the debut album of their long-defunct band, the Rising Sons.

Mr. Mark Deming from Allmusic doesn't seem to like it so much, but for me it's a very entertaining record just because of the style and rhythm changes and also because of the excellent musicians.
