Info for The Hidden Treasures Of Taj Mahal (Remastered)

Harlem folkie wonder-cum-Chicago Blues badass Taj Mahal gets the legend treatment for his 70th birthday: Columbia has decided to honor the singer/songwriter/storytellers back pages with a hidden treasures release. Its a long, sweaty affair. Underlying it all, and no matter the kind of music hes playing, when Mahal sings he comes on like the black Bob Dylan: unmannered, guttural, loose but bold, toying with beginnings and endings of lines, at once interpretive of the masters but unlike anything heard before. If you prefer your Soul music with some gristle, and maybe fried in some -Bacon Fat,î then these rarities from early-era Taj is just the ticket.

A two-album sonic portrait chronicling the early stirrings of Taj Mahal's solo career, The Hidden Treasures of Taj Mahal 1969 - 1973 features two albumss comprised entirely of unreleased finished material. The first album debuts studio recordings from 1969-1973, while the second album premieres a full-length live concert, recorded April 18, 1970 at the Royal Albert Hall in London (on a bill that included Santana).
