American blues musician Taj Mahal, was born Henry Fredericks in New York in 1942. His music is a mix of blues, Caribbean styles, bluegrass and the music of Hawaii, where he lived for a number of years.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my top ten favorite abums ever!, July 20, 2000
By 
F. J. Cote (Downers Grove, Il USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Mo Roots (Audio CD)
I've got "Dancin the Blues" and "Like Never Before" but I still keep coming back to this album. This album sets me free. 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great classic from the 70's, November 4, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Mo Roots (Audio CD)
I saw Taj twice in the 1970's, what a treat! His music still holds up so well. I'd highly recommend this to any one who enjoys great music done by a naturally gifted musician.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Versatile Taj Mahal, June 26, 2009
By 
L. Proctor (Upper Marlboro, MD) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Mo Roots (Audio CD)
If you are familiar with Taj, you know this is a classic. Had it on tape that I converted to CD, but needed to have the released CD version (originally released on vinyl). If you like Taj and appreciate Cajun/Calypso, this is a must have! Better yet, see him in concert, you won't be dissapointed.
