I'm so old that I used to listen to these two when they were young men, now they're my age when I first started listening to them, what a short movie it's been!

[bartrobertson]

There the real deal. They keep the craft of traditional blues alive and all the great souls that invented this masterful simplicity of emotion.

[cvcoco]

This made me cry. Maybe its the history a lot of us have with these fine gentlemen, maybe its just a damn beautiful song, maybe its just everything.

[randykintzley]

Keb Mo has one of the most underrated voices . His voice is blues, soul, r&b and gospel all wrapped into one .

When I listen to these 2 veterans I think: these guys are hitting the essence of the Blues which ain't about only technique but about respect for tradition and feeling, simply great heartfelt Blues.

[philipclaasen]

Taj Mahal and Keb Mo - honest, feel-it crispy tight blues by two of the greatest blues musicians that have walked the face of the earth.

[msappl]

At the end of the day it‘s the Blues that lectures you that eventually when you die at least you feasted on every single note of pain from it.

[nadavedry]

One of these rare combination of an old classic performed perfectly by two of the best bluesmen ever to pick a guitar in such a crystal clear recording that also captures the squeaky chair to complete the mood.
