    Real music played by real musicians. I had the honor of doing sound for Taj three times, and I've always been a fan of Ry Cooder since his first solo releases and his contributions to the Performance soundtrack. I also owe him a big "thank you" for his efforts in bringing Buena Vista Social Club to the rest of the world. These are world class people with few peers.

      Edit: i lived in Darwin 1970-71 as a kid,
      & when people in America ask me what Australia is like, i tell them, i only been to their Northern Territory,
      but from what i saw there, camping alongside offshoots of the Adelaide River,
      & just the wild west vibe of the people, to my american friends,

    This couldn't have come at a better time. I'm having a rough morning. Music is so healing and Taj is a master. I consider Taj Mahal a Musical Shaman. And Ry Cooder is one of the icon's of American music in the lane of Woody Guthrie. Sincere thanks to both and the band. What a BLESSING!

    I first heard Taj in 1967. For me he was the John Lewis of music. I knew if I listened, I'd be better for it. Only the Jerry Garcia Band put a similar smile on your face as you listened and you'd be better for it as well. Truth be told.

    When I first came across this video on RUclips, the only reason I watched it "was" because I recognized Don Was on bass. I just wanted to see what he was up to. Then, when the video finished I was sitting in our family room with misty eyes, and said out loud just what POSROCKNROLL said just below - "It just doesn't get any better than that." If you don't love this music, you got no soul!

    Taj and Ry both great slide players were in band called the Rising Sons around 1965. And Ry played with distinction on Taj's early records. Both are deep musicians. The whole band is having fun on this tune. Taj's early version was Duane Allman's intro to slide, and we know where that went ;)

If it's close to possible there's gonna be music in the instrument that's in Taj Mahals hands.

That's when I saw them in Davis 'west of Sacramento'. He'd made some big changes to the band. That's when he started using Howard Johnson and his horn section. That Tuba was a surprise. ✌

      Yup, me too...grew up in the '60's & '70's, when the music was truly magic‼️
      Back in 2002, I had the absolute privilege of seeing Taj perform a free, solo, high school gig, during NOLA JazzFest. Guaranteed, none of those African American kids had any idea who this guy was, as they dragged their bottoms into the auditorium. The rest of us were relegated to the other side of the room. Within a few numbers, the most amazing shamanistic transformation occured...only in the American South, due to the decades old tradition of Gospel/call-and-response. These kids were not only hooked by his musical, one-man virtuosity, but they were also hip, calling out, vocally answering & responding to the risque double entendre of the lyrics‼️
