Our Take

Taj Mahal, the legendary blues musician, has made a triumphant return with his latest album "Like Never Before/Dancing the Blues". This double album serves as a refreshing reminder of why Taj Mahal is still considered one of the greatest in the genre. On the first half of the album, "Like Never Before", Taj Mahal effortlessly weaves together blues, soul, and even a touch of reggae to create a sound that is both timeless and fresh. Tracks like "Soulful Lover" and "Stagger Lee" showcase Taj's incredible versatility as a musician, while "Black Dog" takes a more introspective look at the struggles of being a black man in America. The second half of the album, "Dancing the Blues", is where Taj Mahal truly shines. With infectious grooves and funky rhythms, songs like "Shake Me in Your Arms" and "Sweet Mama Janisse" will have you on your feet in no time. Taj's skill as a guitarist is on full display here, with each riff and lick adding to the overall energy of the album. Overall, "Like Never Before/Dancing the Blues" is a testament to Taj Mahal's enduring talent and passion for music. It's a must-listen for any fan of the blues, and a welcome addition to Taj's already impressive discography. Sit back, relax, and let the music of Taj Mahal wash over you like never before.
