- A knock your socks off blues tour de force. Fantastic lineup highlighted by Jesse Ed Davis and Ry Cooder on guitars and mandolin. Extremely well recorded and mastered LP.
- Edited one year ago
referencing Taj Mahal (LP, Album, Reissue) ED 166
Trying to figure out if I like this '80s UK reissue more or less than my Canadian original (Taj Mahal - Taj Mahal). The sound is very bright and the stereo separation seems wider. (Is that possible?) On the one hand, it's awesome to Ry and Jesse's guitars so clearly. But it seems to lack a certain organicness. Reminds me of the remastered CDs of '60s albums coming out in the '80s 1985 seems early for an "AAD" record (to borrow inappropriately from SPARS) but since Taj Mahal - Taj Mahal exists on CD from the same label I am suspicious. - Edited 3 months agoJe recommande cette réédition
Voix très présente.
Médiums aigües excellent.
Les Graves manquent de détail mais c’est peut-être d’origine. referencing Taj Mahal (LP, Album, Mono, Reissue) LP 5196
I have a NM still in shrink copy for sale if anyone is interested message me- Great album leading off with the exceptional "Leaving Trunk", a masterpiece of the 'modern' blues with fine harmonica work by Taj and the super guitar solo by Jessie Edwin Davis.

The record sounds great. His music sounds great in Mono.- I don’t even know how this album is not rated a 5/5. This album is perfect with great history behind it. Without this album Duane Allman maybe would not have pickup the slide.
referencing Taj Mahal (LP, Album, Reissue, Stereo) CS 9579
Taj Mahal pretty much knocks it out of the park with this debut album. I would say that this album has one of the best openers ever. Some albums you've gotta give it a few tracks before you get into the groove, but Taj gets you groovin' full steam about 20 seconds into Leaving Trunk. None of the other tracks reach this sort of pitch fever, but everything is still high quality. An excellent collection of covers from some of the most important bluesmen of the 20th century. And he also curated a solid backing band, especially Jessie Edwin Davis and Ry Cooder. This Canadian reissue has a very wide and clear sound. Good version if you can find it!
