| I have followed Taj since his first album watched him perform a number if times. He amazes me with his ability to keep evolving. I enjoyed this cd very much. It is, as always, a new Taj. If you are a Taj fan do not hesitate picking up this solid cd. It has a variety of blues in it. |

A Taj Mahal Classic!
Submitted on: 2009-02-25 |

| "Maestro" is most definitely, a Taj Mahal Classic! It also has a Star Studded lineup assisting Taj Mahal, But this Release still has that World /Eclectic/Country Folk Blues vibes that Taj is famous for plus the blues music styles that he covers in this album, sounds as authentic as some of the original styles. This is a great Blues/world music album worthy of awards! |

A Great American Roots Musician
Submitted on: 2009-02-25 |

The title of this album is a perfect description for the multi-talented Taj Mahal. Through the years, he has played with pure integrity, virtuosity, taste, and great showmanship.
The CD contains a varied selection of tunes and styles ranging from hokum blues to Fats Domino to African music, all of which are capably handled by this gifted artist.
Taj's passionate, expressive singing is a joy to listen to. In addition, he plays acoustic guitar, electric guitar, slide guitar, banjo-frailing and picking-harmonica, and barrelhouse piano, all at the level of virtuosity (but not all on this CD). And he probably plays a few other instruments too.
Taj Mahal plays with feeling, authority, and he has fun while he plays. He knows and appreciates the history of American roots music. I especially enjoy the comment he makes on the promo video about "not selling out to the music industry."
I would encourage any listener who is new to blues or roots music to listen to Taj Mahal - his playing will educate and enlighten you.
Finally, he puts on of the best live shows in the business. What a great and inspiring musician. Hats off to Taj Mahal for all he has done to perpetuate good music, including making this fine album. |
