Title: An original take on the blues
Review: I've listened to the blues all of my life being lucky enough to grow up in a home full of people who loved music.In a genre such as the blues it's hard to be truly original. Taj and guitarist Jesse Ed Davis find a groove on this album that interprets this old and revered style of music in a personal and original way. This is Taj's finest work. The happy,country feeling he explores pours out through his vocals,his steel-bodied guitar and his fabulous harp playing. I also consider this to be the very best work of a gifted guitar player, Jesse Ed Davis. He's extremely mellow here,understated but feeling the groove and letting those feelings emanate from his axe. Give a listen to "She Caught the Katy" or "Ain't Nobody Gone Steal My Jellyroll". These songs have been done countless times but never before or since like Taj and Jesse do them here.
