Album Reviews
From Amazon.com

This is WORLD CLASS MUSIC!

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: This is an amazing, original, varied, heart grabbing, booty shaking, head bobbing CD. This is the disc that could turn any music fan onto Taj. It comes through on the promise of Blues, Rock, World Music, and just plain human-Being expression. It has it all and in spades. Taj puts his whole soul into every song and performance. You can't ask for more.

Some great bluezee tones

 Album Rating: (4 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: A very digestable cd, goes down smooth and free of bones. Not very heavy, but easy to turn up loud and proud. Toe tappin and head swingin kind of music. A great cd to have in the car, even the kids dig it. (we do have pretty cool kids :)

What's not to love?

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: This has to be one of my favorite Taj's records. Great yet earthy production, soulful delivery, and cool arrangements!
What more could you want?

don't believe the hype

 Album Rating: (3 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: Can't see what all the fuss is about, not his best but a nice , breezy, summertime album let down by some pedestrian lyrics and same old same old songs- some people are just easy to please , me i think it contains maybe two really good songs. It made me laugh the other reviewers comments that this is "up there with'" kind of blue, love supreme , Robert johnson ... it's not even on the same playing field as those classics.
It's nice and fun but don't expect too much and don't believe the hype - if you are new to taj the first 3 albums he did are the ones to get , for something similar but better try 'sacred island' and 'mo' roots'

missing the point

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: Taj IS spoofing (or maybe better said "tributing") the man who DID the tune Mr. Pitiful - and it ain't James Brown. It is Otis Redding. I can see where some could prefer other Taj; but if you don't like him all that much anyway (or love him...) and you don't get the allusions to other artists (let alone know who they are...)...well,,,hence the Review Title.
