The whitest bluesman in the business...

...at least according to Keith Richard. And Taj Mahal has leaned more towards a pop-ish world music lately, but when I find old clips like this, it does remind me that he used to be a great blues and soul artists back in the 60's and 70's. A characteristic voice and a very decent songwriter (he's the man behind She Caught The Katy of Blues Brother fame),

Here are two clips for your enjoyment this rainy Friday.

Cakewalk into town.

Have a great weekend, y'all!

...a nice pub quiz question follow-up to this would be to identify the number of times "Woke up this morning" and "I've got the blues" were recited during these two numbers.

..moreover; you're much whiter than this dude, Anders

Anders said...

Hey, it doesn't get any blusier then "I woke up this morning", now does it?

..moreover; you're much whiter than this dude, Anders

Are you saying that I'm to blues what Eminem is to rap?

Wilhelm said...

Sure; that's one way to misconstrue my statement.

Anders said...

I call'em as I see'em.
And to Taj defence, he isn't very "white" in those clips...
