My favorite Taj Mahal album! I'm be 71 in a couple weeks. I have wanted to see him live since I was a young teenager near Seattle. Somehow it never happened. Then, in 2011 I retired and moved to Hawaii Island near Hilo. A year or two later, he did a show at the Honokaa Peoples Theater, about 80 miles from my home. Kim Simmonds from Savoy Brown played too before Taj, and they also did some tunes together. I finally got to see this bluesman. I believe he lived, or lives, on Kaui. Fun show for my wife and I.

For decades now I have steadfastly maintained that it is impossible to listen to more than a couple of minutes of Taj Mahal without breaking into a grin. God bless him.

You know this is the first album I ever bought. In a little record shop in Ann Arbor MI. Just a kid. I bought it because I liked the cover photo. It changed my life. I still have the vinyl disc and play it from time to time. Strangely enough I ended up in Tulsa Oklahoma. I love this

boy as I get older the music I listen to gets even more old

[sugoidessho]

Probably the best electric blues album ever made. Musical perfection with vocals and lead guitar legends.

Duane...falls off horse, breaks arm and just like that a star is made. Thank you Taj for your influence.

I saw this band at the Newport Pop Festival 'Devonshire Downs' 1969. I stood about 6 feet from the stage and let me tell you they were great! Jesse ed Davis has always been one of my favorite players. It's still a vivid image to ths day.

Gregg Allman gave this album to his brother Duane "Skydog" as a birthday gift, along with a glass bottle of Coricidin pills, which inspired Skydog to use the Coricidin bottle to play slide. Gregg was my parents age, but I am a huge fan of him, the Allman Brothers and Duane. I never heard Taj before this. I see why he gave it to Duane, and why it influenced him. This is awesome!

Recently turned 60. Listened to a lot of blues in my time. Somehow managed to miss this one until now. Holy sh!t!!!! Blew my socks so far off that I can’t find them. Best rockin’ blues I ever heard.

[jerryd]

My favorite blues singer. Has been since I first heard him in early 70's. Finally got to see him in Portland OR in late 90's.

[macfunkey]

This blew me away when I first heard it & it remains one of my favourite albums of all time.

[sonofren]

Most underrated blues album of the whole decade

[Frankincensedjb]

Wow! Taj Mahal, a blast from the past. Saw him at the Shaboo All star Inn in CT many, many moons ago. Saw Johnny Winters, Muddy Waters there, you name 'em. Good times

[manuelhidalgo]

Wow! One of the best albums of blues ever! I can now understand from who many important bands and musicians got their influence. A unique master piece!

[keeleybrineman]

Met him loads of times, always a perfect gentleman and charming and gracious. His fans are always just friends and family.

[tommyx]

2017 and still as fresh as the day it was released. may humans continue to discover Taj Mahal!!!

[anthonyaustin]

Had this in my collection late 60's. Best part of 50 years ago. How come some of you haven't come across this till now. What a time you missed.

[TheMarkcu]

[davidcataldo]

Thank god Greg Allman gave his brother Duane this album
