TAJ MAHAL: Dancing the Blues

Private Music

Having already proved his genius, Taj Mahal joins the ranks of his contemporaries in making overproduced yuppie blues. It is, however, well-documented that as recently as 1991 he was still making good music; check out the Mule Bone CD, or even parts of his last solo LP, Like Never Before. This time around, Taj's eclecticism is reduced to the standard blues sound of our era. Too many cooks spoil the mix. (Carrie McLaren)
