Our Take

Get ready to be shaken to your very core by the powerhouse performance captured on Etta James and Taj Mahal's The Earthquake Relief Concert 1989. This live album is a seismic event in itself, with James' soulful vocals and Mahal's masterful guitar work causing tremors of joy throughout.

From the moment James takes the stage, you know you're in for a wild ride. Her voice is a force of nature, commanding attention with every earth-shattering note. And when Taj Mahal joins in, the chemistry between these two legends is nothing short of explosive.

Tracks like "I'd Rather Go Blind" and "Corrina" showcase James' raw emotional power, while Mahal's slide guitar adds a bluesy edge that keeps things grounded. The energy in the room is palpable, with the audience hanging on every word and every riff.

But it's not all about the music – the banter between James and Mahal is just as entertaining. Their playful rapport adds a touch of levity to an otherwise intense set, making you feel like you're right there in the front row, soaking up every moment.

So if you're looking for a live album that will shake you to your very core, look no further than The Earthquake Relief Concert 1989. Etta James and Taj Mahal deliver a seismic performance that will leave you in awe – and maybe even a little shaken up.
