Free Music Review: Taj Mahal - The Man!
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm a product of the 60's. My 4 older sisters helped mold my taste in music. One of them owned this Taj Mahal LP when it came out in 1969. Prior to this recording, she had an earlier one with "Corina" on it that would get stuck in my brain for days.
Giant Step is a must have CD! It's got great songs (Take a giant step, Farther on down the road, Annie's Lover, Stagger Lee, and Fishin' Blues), terrific banjo playing, and Taj' warm soulful persona comes through in his voice. He has made some great recordings over the years but this one is my all time favorite. You will love it and your children will love it. The music doesn't feel dated at all.
Giant Step/De Ole Folks at Home Poster
One of the more woefully underappreciated blues artists of the last three decades, Taj Mahal has consistently made great records that combine his extensive knowledge of roots music with a refreshingly non-elitist sensibility. Giant Step/De Ole Folks At Home from 1969 was Taj's commercial high point, and it's easy to understand why. The first half of the album (originally released as a two-record set) features Taj and band blending rock, pop and blues on songs like "Take a Giant Step," "Give Your Woman What She Wants" and "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl." The second half is more laid-back and down-home, with Taj essaying solo renditions of "Fishing Blues," "Stagger Lee" and "Light Rain Blues" on banjo, harmonica and acoustic guitar. The most effortlessly enjoyable record of an effortlessly enjoyable career. --Dan EpsteinBlues Music CDs
