Senor Blues (1997) more music like this

by Taj Mahal

Seņor 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 Seņor 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 ...

Evolution (The Most Recent) (1977) more music like this

by Taj Mahal

Contrary to the intimations of the title, Evolution (The Most Recent) was a predictable continuation of the pleasing but sleepy groove that Mahal had fallen into by the mid-1970s, heavy on the Caribbean accents. The use of an almost disco-ish backing on "Sing a Happy Song" put him close to the sound coming out of Miami studios in the 1970s, though ...

Beginner's Guide to the Blues (2005) more music like this

by Various Artists

Nascente's three-disc blues box set is a pretty useful introduction to the blues mainly because of the way it is set up, with the first disc featuring country blues selections, most of them from the 1920s and '30s, followed by a disc of electric urban blues, drawn mainly from the '50s, and a last disc of contemporary performers who are attempting ...
