bray,
I have The Best of Taj Mahal-volume 16. Some of the songs sound ok considering how long ago they were recorded. Some of it can be down right fatiguing. I like the music so much that I'm willing to put up with the poor recording quality of some of the tunes. I also have one of his cds entitled Sen'or Blues which has a much better recording quality and has some of his later work on it. I highly recommend it.

Ajax is correct, Taj Mahal is the guys name. I had the pleasure of meeting Taj back in the 70s. It was backstage at a local venue (The Kingfish Club) in Baton Rouge, LA. It was great fun because he played for us backstage while he was waiting to go on. The guy just loved to perform and he had the happiest personality of anyone I think I've ever met. It is a fond memory.
