5.0 out of 5 stars Really excellent music, February 23, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Taj'S Blues (Audio CD)
Great tunes all the way through. His version of Frankie and Albert with the Pointer Sisters singing and cackling in the background is fabulous. You can see where the Allman Brothers Band got their version of Statesboro Blues--it was from this version by Taj, Jesse Ed Davis, and Ry Cooder

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential blues material, March 7, 2000
By 
Dave (Montreal, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Taj'S Blues (Audio CD)
If you don't already have this one in your blues collection then you sure will need it soon! Taj's vocals shine through on this recording. The recording has a very earthy quality and a nice rough edge and is very true to the blues tradition. Taj has a few albums where he wanders stylistically (even into reggae) but this one is pure blues. There are also a lot of good slide guitar and dobro licks here thanks to a few superb guest musicians. The music is sure to please both the blues fan as well as the blues musician.

2.0 out of 5 stars I love Taj but not this album, October 24, 2003
This review is from: Taj'S Blues (Audio CD)
Big blues has POOR sound quality. The production is simply sub par and over wrought with cheezy 80s keyboards. If you want goo live Taj check out the Real Thing. I cring everytime I listen to Big Blues
