Title: You can hear screams for remastering!
Product review: A masterpiece of a CD -- if you can use that word for a compilation -- in some ways. This collection, while rather skimpy and sorely needing of remastering, is one of my favorite discs of all time.Taj Mahal is a bluesman to be sure, but his stuff is infected with reggae (Johnny Too Bad), calypso and other wonderful sounds of the islands. He is the happiest man in show business -- this really comes through in his later records and in live performances.While there are other places to start with Taj's catalog, this CD is very near and dear to my heart. Probably because of "Fishin' Blues" and "Ain't Gwine ..." -- two of his finest works. I would recommend this CD if you're looking for an inexpensive way to get a flavor for some early Taj Mahal. But given that there are only ten tracks of poor sound quality, my recommendation is of a personal and sentimental nature.
