Taj Mahal is joined by Indian master musicians N. Ravikiran and V.M. Bhatt on a selection of tunes that ultimately owe more to obvious blues clichés than they do to cross-cultural collaboration. Perhaps that's because nearly half of the album's tunes -- including Robert Johnson's "Come on in My Kitchen," "Mary Don't You Weep," and "Johnny Too Bad" -- have long been staples of Taj Mahal's concert catalog. This isn't to say that the set doesn't have any moments of inspired improvisation and nuanced playing; there are a few instances of brilliance. But that seems a terrible waste of the talent gathered, unless the listener is looking for nothing more than an unlikely blues workout. ~ Brian Beatty

(SACD-HYBRID) Vocalist/guitarist Taj Mahal, a repository of the musical traditions of the West African Diaspora in the New World, teams with Hindustani wizard of the mohan vina, V.M. Bhatt and Karnatak virtuoso of the chitra vina, N. Ravikiran. Their int

Down Beat (9/96, p.57) - 4.5 Stars (out of 5) - "...The blend of improvised sounds is colorful, entrancing, exotic, sensual, even poetic....The blues, in accord with Hindustani and Karnatak music, is made miraculously new."
JazzTimes (10/95, p.82) - "...a uniquely ethereal folk-blues atmosphere....this music has an infectious lightness of being with a cultural identity that is hard to isolate--which is the underlying message of the meeting. Even overly familiar standard cover tunes...are refreshed and renewed, taken out of their American context..."

Gentle Evening With Townes Van Zandt CD  (2002)

Mumtaz Mahal album
CD $9.55  Audio Samples
Recorded live at Carnegie Hall, New York, New York on November 26, 1969. Originally released on Poppy Records. Includes liner notes by Paul Kingsbury. For those most familiar with the late great songwriter Townes Van Zandt as a hard-living, rugged road veteran who'd seen the bad side of the highway several times too many, it may come as something of a revelation to step into this sonic time capsule where Van Zandt is a bright-eyed, fresh-faced young troubadour full of promise and vigor. There were many young men of the post-BLONDE ON BLONDE era who entered into the New Dylan sweepstakes, but as this ...

Eric Clapton E.C. Was Here CD  (1975) Remastered

Mumtaz Mahal CD music
CD $6.49  4.8 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
On the original LP, the song "Drifting Blues" faded out after about 3 minutes. The CD contains the complete 11:31 version. Released in the same year as 1975's THERE'S ONE IN EVERY CROWD, E.C. WAS HERE is a live album short on content but long in presentation. Backed by his usual mid-70's studio cohorts (George Terry, Jamie Oldaker, Yvonne Elliman, Marcy Levy, etc.), Clapton ignored his then-current material off CROWD and 461 OCEAN BOULEVARD, instead choosing to explore his immediate, post-Cream era along with some extended, old favorites. "Presence Of The Lord" and "Can't Find My Way Home" were retrieved from Blind Faith's sole album and both are ...

Mumtaz Mahal album
CD $16.05  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS includes a 48-page booklet with biographical notes, rare photos and a complete discography. Recorded in San Antonio, Texas on November 23 & 26-27, 1936 and Dallas, Texas on June 19-20, 1937. Includes liner notes by Stephen LaVere, Keith Richards and Eric Clapton. Noted blues historian Robert Palmer has called him "the Mississippi Delta's first modern blues-man," and over the past 50 years Robert Johnson's influence has reached out from beyond the grave. Though his recording output numbers fewer than 30 different songs, Johnson's catalog has been a treasure trove picked clean by artists ranging from Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones to Led Zeppelin ...

Jonny Lang Wander This World CD  (1998) Enhanced CD

Mumtaz Mahal CD music
CD $11.99  4.8 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
WANDER THIS WORLD is an Enhanced CD, which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. WANDER THIS WORLD was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album. When a wave of blues-playing wunderkids (Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Monster Mike Welch) arrived on the scene in the '90s, 16-year-old Jonny Lang was out alongside them with his debut LIE TO ME. On his follow-up, WANDER THIS WORLD, Lang once again teams up with ex-Prince mate David Z for yet another excellent collection of R&B-tinged blues. Not yet old enough to drink, Lang has a voice that rings with the tone of an old soul, particularly on the late Luther Allison's "Cherry Red Wine," the album's only cover. Although this teen shreds impressively on songs such as the scorching "Still Rainin'," he shows an affinity ...
