Taj Mahal - Walking Blues

Taj Mahal in concert in Germany

[@jackdisarno1213]

Great resonator blues, Lightnin Hopkins would be proud. Just watched "Sounder" again. Taj is a true renaissance man skilled in farming and studied classical piano as a youngster. Don't miss his blues banjo. Keep picking.

[@gilbert20]

Absolutely NO dislikes!!! That's what I'm talkin' bout!

[@ricardblanc]

Taj plays absolutely nothing better than anybody else!

[@koziestur]

I saw Taj in 1983 or 84 in Juneau, AK. It was a very small audience in a very small native building. I consider myself very luck to have had that opportunity to see him playing right in front of me and looking at all of us! This was the mentality of Juneau, Alaska back then. Who is Taj Mahal and who cares? Hardly anybody shows up. When he was done he had everyone get up and have a dance party with him! I'm very curious if anyone know the real year this video was shot! Walkin Blues best ever!WOW

[@user-nm5qz6lz9q]

its on you tube, walkin blues, i thinh this solo version is far better than the you tube band trio 1

[@jaygamel4746]

The man opened up those Marin white folks to rap, which was just around the corner. They loved it.

[@user-nm5qz6lz9q]

i saw this in 1968 on tv, i was 4yrs age, ive played gtr since and without taj blues wouldnt be 1st in my music preferences, what an eye and ear opener 4 any1

[@mikem1355]

Uh, it's called "Walkin' Blues" and has been covered by many artists over the years. I don't know of a studio version by Tal Mahal, though.

[@BlueLou974]

Yes, a studio version in his first album ( the one with that southern mansion & butterflies etc. 1967) , with a ( very) complete band, Jesse Ed Davis, Ry Cooder, & a bunch of incredible musicians. He plays slide guitar. Warning : addicting version...The actual tittle is " the celebrated walking blues".

[@jaygamel4746]

So what are we looking at ...

[@user-nm5qz6lz9q]

there waS a studio version on wblu radio yesterday or the day b4. not a clue where they got it from
