The fall 2000 CD reissue includes a trio of bonus tracks: a faster-paced rendition of “The Cuckoo” with a more prominent lead guitar, the slow electric lament “New Stranger Blues” featuring some good mandolin-style playing on the guitar, and the rocking instrumental “Things Are Gonna Work Out Fine,” which is a killer showcase for Davis lead electric guitar and Taj Mahal s virtuosity on

Taj, with the invaluable help of his tight and funky band, particularly the late, great, guitarist Jesse Ed Davis, are a perfect remedy for a rainy day.

Taj Mahal's iconoclastic self-titled '68 solo debut remains, in my opinion, an essential listen for both blues and rock enthusiasts. Accompanied by stellar musicians Jessie Davis, Ry Cooder, James Thomas, Sanford Konikoff, Bill Boatman, Gary Gilmore, and Charles Blackwell, Taj recorded a startling stripped-down mix of both authentic and new blues sounds. The debut was followed with two equall...

He's a legend... a fount of character who struts about the stage plucking pretty little notes f...
