Free Music Notes for The Essential Taj Mahal
Free Music Review: New Taj Fan
Hit: 5 Stars
I will admit I'm a new Taj Mahal Fan. I met him at a private party several years ago and saw him again at the same annual party last fall.
I enjoy his music and this 2 CD set is good driving tunes.

If you want something that covers almost all of Taj's material, this is for you. If you want a taste of Taj Mahal, who I think is fantastic, then this is too much. I used to have "The Best of Taj Mahal" but I loaned it out. Surprise, it never got returned. I should've just replaced that one which is more concise and user friendly for putting in the player for a spin. "Essential" is a sprawling two discs that varies greatly and serves more as an encyclopedia.
Free Music Review: A Good Deal
Hit: 5 Stars
Lots of music for a decent price. If you're unfamiliar w/ Taj, it's a good introduction. If you are familiar with his music but don't have a lot of his cd's, it's a worthwhile purchase. IMO, this one really IS "essential" stuff - I could quibble w/ a selection here & there, but overall, it's a good retrospective of a brilliant musician's work.Free Music Review: Taj Then and Now - Reviewed by Reyna Sion, Critic at Large
Hit: 4 Stars
I was looking forward to receiving my CD and spending time with Taj Mahal. He became one of my favorite performers after seeing him at the Fillmore East over 30 years ago. He was the first act, followed by Donny Hathaway and ending with Leon Russell. Most of the audience had never heard of him, but immediately became enraptured with his music, his playing, and his smooth as silk voice. He seemed so self assured considering the talent he was sharing the stage with . He also appeared to be thoroughly enjoying himself while entertaining us and it became infectious throughout the theater. I am sad to say that the technical quality of this newly produced CD of Taj's older work was not very good. The music seemed sloppy and fuzzy and Taj's vocals were so low that you could not really hear him. This was throughout disc one. Disc 2 was way more interesting and much more clear. Listening to him on disc 2 gave me the same pleasure I always had throughout the years as I followed his career. I gave this CD 4 stars because the second disc alone was well worth it.

Taj Mahal is not only a bluesman but an true musician.He expands the blues format way beyond the tradition.
