Maybe too intimate and sometimes rough to appeal to the masses, but massively good.

I have no idea how old "Corinna" (or "Corrine, Corrina") is—something like 120-130 years, but I love this version. Taj gives it a lovely twist. BTW, the original "C.C." in "C.C. Rider" may have been "Corrine, Corrina," which morphed into a motorcycle anthem, punning on "cc."

Taj Mahal is one of those artists who sounds so much better live. I've seen him several times, and every time, he has induced 'wows', dancing and carrying on. I've bought a couple of his albums though, and they mostly bore me.

There's a great live album from 40 years ago with this on it called Recyclin' the Blues which I could only find on this twofer which I would get if I didn't already have both of them individually.

Started out sounding a bit Little-Feat-ish.  BTW, do we ever get Little Feat on RP?  Hmmm?  Please??

The Rolling Stones R&R circus is definitely worth seeing, Netflix has it.  Taj really shines.  The DVD has additional Taj tunes that weren't in the main production.  And the Who really shows their talent.  The commentary is great.  But the most bizarre thing is watching Tony Iommi fake his guitar playing with Jethro Tull.  I'm so glad he moved on.

At the first word, you know it's Taj Mahal. His voice is not particularly great, or even unique. He just has something special. They don't come much cooler than Taj Mahal.

Just a terrific song. I've listened to this cut for 40 years now and still enjoy it. One of his best. Saw him sing it live in 1968 in Fresno at the old Rainbow Ballroom. Sons of Champlin closed the show. Still memorable.

Agree.

35 years ago I first heard his West Indian Revelation, which I loved but never knew who or what it was until just last year. So I uploaded it to the LRC and it's currently in review to get on this playlist. Any signed-on RP member who wants to hear it here, vote {YES} for my long-lost treasure! Thanks!

I think this was from 'The Natch'l Blues' (just before 'Giant Step').

Gregorama wrote:
As I recall, this originally came out on "Take a Giant Step/De Old Folks at Home" An unusual double album, in that one album was mostly pure delta blues, at which he excells, and the other was more contemporary blues, at least contemporary 30 years ago. It was one of my favorite albums for a number of years.

When I first heard Taj Mahal, I assumed he was from Mississippi or some other place down in the Delta. Turns out he's from like Massachusetts, but was just an early student and disciple of the Delta Blues, and I believe that he was raised in a musical family.

Anyway, the old double album was pretty good, at least back then.

I completely agree with your first thought, I have never seen a performer have such fun and inspire such fun in a live show.

I like his studio stuff too though, and luckily for you he has several live recordings out
