Performer: Taj Mahal
Distributor: Gotham Distributing Corp. Notes: The title of Sony Special Products' The Real Blues may not have any real meaning -- after all, this is merely a sampler that features both covers of classic blues tunes and originals -- but the end result in an entertaining collection that highlights Taj Mahal's skills as an interpreter, as well as his easygoing charm. For curious, budget-minded listeners, it's worth checking out. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
From the beginning, singer/guitarist Taj Mahal had an interest in/gift for rural blues, and has since embraced everything from electric and psychedelic-tinged blues to reggae and calypso. A tireless performer, he's recorded in many settings, with his honest and impassioned singing providing the common thread through it all. He was a member of '60s band the Rising Sons (which also included Ry Cooder) before embarking on a successful solo career that spanned several decades.
