Long one of my favorite musicians, I think this is one of his best. Taj brings a zest to music that is hard to rival, not to mention his enduring career as an "out of the mainstream" musician. His cds can be bought so cheaply it's one of the true bargains out there if you enjoy his blend of blues genres. "Senor Blues" was issued in 1997.  On this album he brings some 60s flavor with a few tunes such as "Think", "Things Are Gettin' Crazy Up In Here", "Mr. Pitiful", and bit of country-style blues such as "Mind Your Own Business" featuring his trademark National Steel Guitar work. The title track "Senor Blues" is a cool smooth jazzy Horace Silver tune. I particularly like "21st Century Gypsy Singin' Lover Man". As always Taj brings outstanding musicians to the studio always bringing a well-crafted product full of enthusiasm. I saw Taj perform live 2 years ago at 69 years of age and it was unbelievable how much energy he brought to the stage. He absolutely rocked the house.
