1	World Playground: A Musical Adventure for Kids (1999) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist In the United States, children's music can be extremely sophomoric -- much of it is stuff that no one over the age of ten would want to listen to. But in other countries, children's music isn't necessarily childish. Offering a wide variety of children-friendly world music, Putumayo's first World Playground compilation doesn't talk down to kids -- ... see all copies from $6.40! new only from $10.72!
2	The Best of Taj Mahal [Sony Remaster] (2000) more music like this by Taj Mahal add to wishlist Columbia/Legacy's 2000 collection The Best of Taj Mahal is a first-rate overview of Taj Mahal's classic late-'60s/early-'70s work for Columbia. Spanning 17 tracks, including a previously unreleased cut "Sweet Mama Janisse" from 1970, this hits many of the key points from the records he released between 1967 and 1974, including "Statesboro Blues," ... see all copies from $4.66! new only from $6.06!
3	A Child's Celebration of Song (1992) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This outstanding album offers children's classics of the past fifty years featuring original recordings of these great artists. Titles include: Sweet Honey in the Rock--"Little Red Caboose," and James Taylor--"Jelly Man Kelly," Loggins and Messina--"House at Pooh Corner," Judy Garland--"Over the Rainbow," Burl Ives--"Polly Wolly Doodle," Pete ... see all copies from $3.12! new only from $9.24!
4	Folkways: A Vision Shared - A Tribute to Woody Guthrie & Leadbelly (1988) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This is a solid collection of alternately exuberant and faithful covers of the songs of Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly. Great cuts are Little Richard's fuel-injected "Rock Island Line," and Springsteen's "Vigilante Man." Bob Dylan does "Pretty Boy Floyd." ~ Richard Meyer, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.96! new only from $4.75!
5	Kulanjan (1999) more music like this by Taj Mahal & Toumani Diabate add to wishlist This informal collaboration between veteran American bluesman Mahal and Malian kora (it's a 21-stringed lute-like instrument) master Diabate was recorded in an Athens, GA, studio with a sextet of West African string instrumentalists and vocalists. It sounds like a half a world away, with the two mixed cultures merging to create traditional blues ... see all copies from $3.54! new only from $9.89!
6	Giant Step/De Ole Folks at Home (1969) more music like this by Taj Mahal add to wishlist In less than 24 months, Taj Mahal (guitars/vocals/banjo/harmonica) had issued the equivalent of four respective long-players. The electric Giant Step (1968) was released alongside the acoustic and decidedly rural De Ole Folks at Home (1968). The nine cuts on Giant Step feature support from the instrumental trio of Jesse Ed Davis (guitar/keyboards) ... see all copies from $4.87! new only from $6.06!
7	Rock and Roll Doctor: Lowell George Tribute (1998) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist As the guitarist, vocalist and primary songwriter for Little Feat, Lowell George was one of the biggest cult heroes of the '70s, creating a body of work that was deeply set within the blues tradition yet fiercely idiosyncratic and weird. It was the kind of music that earns a large cult following, but doesn't guarantee good covers, since its very ... see all copies from $6.67! new only from $10.94!
8	Fillmore: The Last Days (1972) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist When the venerable San Francisco rock & roll mecca the Fillmore West packed it in on the Forth of July 1971 an era in pop music history had also passed. Dancehall keeper Bill "Uncle Bobo" Graham -- under whose meticulous supervision the venue flourished -- held a wake and hand-picked a select few locals to give the Fillmore its last musical rights ... see all copies from $12.72! new only from $12.72!
9	Putumayo Presents: Blues Around the World (2006) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist What happens when Putumayo, a label built entirely on the realm of world music, takes on a genre known as one of the few purely American musics? The answer: they find performers worldwide with their own regional twists on the blues, and present a surprisingly coherent collection. Well beyond the spread up Highway 61 decades ago, Putumayo Presents: ... see all copies from $9.95! new only from $10.44!
10	Tibetan Freedom Concert (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The Tibetan Freedom Concert was the largest rock charity event of 1997, a two-day event held in June that featured many of the biggest names in rock and rap. Appropriately, it was filmed and recorded with the intention of being released later in the year as a charity record. The triple-disc set The Tibetan Freedom Concert is the extraordinary ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $25.65!
11	The Essential Taj Mahal (2005) more music like this by Taj Mahal add to wishlist The Essential Taj Mahal pulls together the bluesman's Columbia, Warner, Gramavision Private Music, and Hannibal labels' recordings, making it the first truly cross-licensed compilation of his work. Given the depth and breadth of this set (it covers four decades), the listener gets not only a cross-sectional view of the artist, but also his ... see all copies from $12.72! new only from $12.72!
12	Phantom Blues (1996) more music like this by Taj Mahal add to wishlist An eclectic bluesman would seem to be a contradiction in terms, but Taj Mahal, who has moved through the worlds of folk, rock, and pop to reach his present categorization, fits the description, and here he takes several pop and R&B oldies that came from blues roots -- "Ooh Poo Pah Doo," "Lonely Avenue," "What Am I Living For?," "Let the Four Winds ... see all copies from $6.14! new only from $6.14!
13	Senor Blues (1997) more music like this by Taj Mahal add to wishlist Señor Blues is one of Taj Mahal's best latter-day albums, a rollicking journey through classic blues styles performed with contemporary energy and flair. There's everything from country-blues to jazzy uptown blues on Señor Blues, and Taj hits all of areas in between, including R&B and soul. Stylistically, it's similar to most of his albums, but he ... see all copies from $6.14! new only from $6.14!
14	An Evening of Acoustic Music (1996) more music like this by Taj Mahal add to wishlist If you've ever caught Taj live solo, this recording, cut during an appearance in Germany, is what you've been waiting for. His sublime performances of "Satisfied and Tickled Too" and "Candy Man" are out of this world. While the inclusion of tuba on a few tracks does prove somewhat annoying, for the most part this is an excellent example of what ... see all copies from $4.18! new only from $50.86!
15	Avalon Blues: A Tribute to the Music of Mississippi John Hurt (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist If you assemble a bunch of above-average artists to pay tribute to a major artist, is the result an above-average tribute record? Not always, but in this case it is. Organized and executive-produced by Peter Case, this contains covers of the Mississippi bluesman's songs by more than a dozen medium-big and very-big names from the folk and rock ... see all copies from $3.74! new only from $9.99!
16	Blues with a Feeling: The Very Best of Taj Mahal (2003) more music like this by Taj Mahal add to wishlist Throughout his career, Taj Mahal has always been considered a bluesman, which is true enough, since the basis for everything he does has been the country blues, but he is not a traditionalist at heart, and he has always looked for ways to push the blues into new places and shapes. Adding at times rhythms and sensibilities that are drawn from ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $7.88!
17	Oooh So Good N'Blues/Recycling the Blues (2007) more music like this by Taj Mahal add to wishlist Australia's Raven Records is among the most venerable reissue labels in the world, and this two-fer of Taj Mahal vintage recordings is a case in point. Sony Legacy began a rather aggressive reissue campaign of Mahal's recordings, remastering and reissuing his late-'60s work and early records, including his self-titled debut, The Natch'l Blues, and ... see all copies from $17.80! new only from $17.80!
18	In Progress & in Motion: 1965-1998 (1998) more music like this by Taj Mahal add to wishlist For being a nearly omnipresent figure, Taj Mahal has never quite gotten the respect he's deserved. At the beginning of his career, he earned a significant amount of attention, but as the years passed, he had woven himself into the fabric of blues culture so well that his presence was taken for granted. That is why the 1998 release of In Progress & ... see all copies from $26.51! new only from $36.53!
19	Mali to Memphis: An African-American Odyssey (1999) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Mali to Memphis: An African-American Odyssey purports to show the cultural connection of West African music and American blues by example. In this, the compilation is fairly successful. On listening to the opening track, "Mon Amour, Mon Cherie," by Amadou & Mariam, you immediately make a mental connection to the CD's last track, Taj Mahal's ... see all copies from $4.97!
20	A Children's Celebration of Folk Music (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Essentially a label sampler featuring selections from children's albums by Buckwheat Zydeco, Cedella Marley Booker, Maria Muldaur, Sweet Honey in the Rock, Taj Mahal, and John McCutcheon, Music for Little People's A Children's Celebration of Folk Music is filled out by the licensing of songs by Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Doc Watson, Raffi, David ... see all copies from $13.95! new only from $13.95!
21	Dancing the Blues (1993) more music like this by Taj Mahal add to wishlist Taj Mahal has always been a more inclusive, eclectic musician than even some admirers understand; his work was never simply or totally blues, even though that strain was at the center and seldom far from anything he performed either. That's the case with this newest collection, a 12-song set that includes splendid covers of Muddy Waters and Howlin ... see all copies from $6.14! new only from $6.14!
22	Paint It Blue: Songs of the Rolling Stones (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The idea behind Paint It Blue: Songs of the Rolling Stones is such a simple, appealing one that it's a wonder that the record wasn't made before 1997. The Stones never made any secret of their debt to the blues, so it makes sense that their songs would sound good when performed by blues and R&B artists. That's the idea behind Paint It Blue -- ... see all copies from $3.97! new only from $38.88!
23	Songs for the Young at Heart (2006) more music like this by Taj Mahal add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.60!
24	Shake Sugaree (1988) more music like this by Taj Mahal add to wishlist Shake Sugaree is a wonderful children's album. Taj Mahal leads kids through a musical journey, taking them through the Caribbean, Africa, and the Deep South, telling stories and singing songs all the while. Some of the tracks feature a choir composed of his own children, and every song and story is not only entertaining, but educational as well. ... see all copies from $4.99!
25	Sacred Island (1998) more music like this by Taj Mahal & the Hula Blues add to wishlist Taj Mahal experienced something of a renaissance in the '90s, turning out a series of surprisingly strong records for Private Music. Since the albums were a success, it gave him the opportunity to make Sacred Island, a collection of Hawaiian music and Hawaiian-flavored blues. Even though there are a couple of weak moments, it works better than you ... see all copies from $1.99!
