    'Fishin' Blues' exists in that class of songs which are quite simply a pure celebration of life through music.

    If you are just getting into the blues, or are a long time follower of this style, this album should be one of your "Desert Island Disks." Many classic blues tunes here, done by a long time master of the genre. Give it a listen, you will listen again, and again, and again, and again.

    Taj Mahal's sound is like The Band with Otis Redding out front. very soulful bluesy sound with simple straightforward licks - not overdone. You will enjoy this - especially Leaving Trunk, She Caught the Katy, and Corinna. I bought the 1968 Rolling Stones' Rock n Roll Circus DVD last week and Taj has one song on the main feature, but has 3 bonus tracks buried in the extras which are every bit as good. The Stones always did have an eye for talent on the rise. Possibly one of the most under-rated performers from the '60's if you think about how ahead of his time Taj was - in 1968 when freaks and hippies ruled the earth, this guy was singing some pretty mean blues. Good stuff.

    I first heard him at the Sweetwater in Mill Valley. This album is a great introduction to his style of music and can be enjoyed from people with a variety of musical interest. Corinna is a must own...
