Taj Mahal (Henry Sainte Claire Fredericks)-singer, multi- instrumentalist, and ethnomusicologist-has described blues as "a very sensual, down-into-the-body music."

Taj Mahals been chasing the blues around the world for years, but rarely with the passion, energy, and clarity he brought to his first three albums.TAJ MAHAL, THE NATCHL BLUES & THE REAL THING are the sound of the artist, who was born in 1942, defining himself and his music.

On his self-titled 1967 debut, he not only honors the sound of the Delta masters with his driving National steel guitar and hard vocal shout, but ladles in elements of rock and country with the help of guitaristsRY COODER and the late Jessie Ed Davis.

This approach is reinforced and broadened by THE NATCHL BLUES.Whats most striking is Mahals way of making even the oldest themes sound as if theyre part of a new era. Not just through the vigor of his playing--relentlessly propulsive, yet stripped down compared with the six-string ornamentations of the original masters of country blues--but through his singing, which possesses a knowing insouciance distinct to post-Woodstock counterculture hipsters. Its the voice of an informed young man who knows hes offering something deep to an equally hip and receptive audience.

Soon, Mahal turned his multicultural vision of the blues even further outward. The live 1971 set,THE REAL THINGfinds him still carrying the Mississippi torch, while adding overt elements of jazz and Afro-Caribbean music to its flame. -these albums set the stage for Mahals career.
