perfection Can't miss. Taj brings the character of his blues soaked voice to the island sound. This album has suffered not one iota in 30 years of listening. Is Taj the greatest black voice of all? Maybe. Mo'roots by Taj Mahal I liked it so much I had to buy the cd, in my fifties. I first purchased the album in the early 70s in my twenties. great stuff this version of slave driver is just fantastic ( and probably better than the original. Yeah I rather love this record although its more the overall mood than that every song is great, but it just flows together so well. some of the songs taken in isolation seem weak,why the fadeout on 'johnny too bad'? Some great backing vocals - a short album but such a happy vibe . One of my top ten favorite abums ever! This album sets me free. I've got "Dancin the Blues" and "Like Never Before" but I still keep coming back to this album. I play it constantly and I got it in the seventies. I think Taj is the coolest guy on the planet. Cajun Waltz makes me grab my wife and dance her around the room. His musical sense and timing I can't begin to describe. All the songs are very unique and unlike anything I've ever heard. Give this one a shot. I've never turned anyone on to this album that didn't love it. A great classic from the 70's I'd highly recommend this to any one who enjoys great music done by a naturally gifted musician. I saw Taj twice in the 1970's, what a treat! His music still holds up so well. You can see a complete list of all Taj Mahal discography, or go back to the Taj Mahal tabs
