Taj Mahal

Henry St. Claire Fredericks Jr. (born May 17, 1942), better known by his stage name Taj Mahal, is an American blues musician. He plays the guitar, piano, banjo, harmonica, and many other instruments, often incorporating elements of world music into his work. Mahal has done much to reshape the definition and scope of blues music over the course of his more than 50-year career by fusing it with nontraditional forms, including sounds from the Caribbean, Africa, India, Hawaii, and the South Pacific.

Saw Taj Mahal & Kebmo at The Mountain Winery last summer. 

It was the most positive uplifting time  I've had for many years.

Bordering on a spiritual experience.

If it "sucks", then its NOT a 3 (Ho Hum), its a 1 (Sucko-Barfo). I'm going to have to issue you a Level 1 Rating Citation for mis-rating this song. You are hereby sentenced to completing a formal technical review of the RP song ratings to include the RP Quantitative Number Rating System (QNRS) and the qualitiative descriptors assigned to each numerical rating.

I love Taj Mahal's music. He just makes me smile, because he takes such joy in his craft, and it's reflected in the tone of his playing and singing. {#Bounce} (And why don't we have a "reggae banana" icon?)

What a coincidence...just finished watching a Youtube of a global collaboration of this song, led by Taj Mahal, plus Ben Harper, Rosanne Cash and many others.  Then it pops up on RP !  



Bill & Rebecca were listening in, just like Siri, Google, Bixby, et al.

There is a live version on YouTube from the "Bloody Sunday Sessions" in New Orleans. It's Taj with his bass player and drummer riding around in a carriage playing this. It keeps getting taken down but I'm sure you can search it out - and it's well worth the hunt.

Love this guy! Have seen him many times back in the day when the Mariposa Folk Festival was held on Toronto Island. Such joy and charm emanates from him. I remember one special summer afternoon he was scheduled to play at one of the waterside stages on Centre Island when the heavens broke loose. We were all standing in pools, huddling under every available umbrella, wondering if the rain would ever let up or if the show would even go on. The stage was covered but for safety's sake the power was cut. Taj stepped out, greeted us all with warmth and enthusiasm and said 'let's get this show on the road!' And so he did an acoustic set, without any amplification, as the rain came pouring down. We had nowhere else to go and there was no better place to be! Honestly. he had all of our soppy, wet asses dancing in the rain!!! Grace under pressure? Pressure? What pressure?

 
Excellent story!  : )   Taj is Fab

Ran into him (I didn't recognize him or realize who he was until the next day) at the Austin TX Hilton years ago when I was out by the pool trying to play my 12-string. Handed it to him and he played a few tunes and later comped me tickets to his show. Very tall, calm, soft-spoken man.

First heard this as the sound track for a youtube video I've heard called "bicycle parkour".  Fantastic video paired with a great song.
