Our Take
Taj Mahal's double album "Giant Step/De Ole Folks at Home" is a delightful journey through the rich tapestry of American roots music. With one foot firmly planted in the blues tradition and the other kicking up dust in the world of folk, this release showcases Mahal's incredible range as a musician. On "Giant Step", Mahal serves up a smorgasbord of blues-infused tracks that are guaranteed to get your toes tapping. From the rollicking opener "Ain't Gwine Whistle Dixie (Any Mo')" to the soulful ballad "Take a Giant Step", each song is a master class in storytelling and musicianship. The highlight of the album has to be the infectious groove of "Fishin' Blues", which will have you itching to grab a rod and reel. Meanwhile, on "De Ole Folks at Home", Mahal takes a more stripped-back approach, showcasing his mastery of acoustic instrumentation. The gentle plucking of the banjo on tracks like "Linin' Track" and "The Cuckoo" is a testament to Mahal's deep connection to the roots of American music. Overall, "Giant Step/De Ole Folks at Home" is a double dose of musical magic from one of the true legends of the genre. Taj Mahal's infectious energy and prodigious talent shine through on every track, making this album a must-listen for fans of the blues, folk, or just good music in general. Don't miss out on this gem of a record - it's a giant step in the right direction.
