FW: Re: [Harp-L] Taj Mahal

["Brendan Power" <bren@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That’s a great story from Mr Sleigh - thanks Richard!



Like a couple of others here I was initially underwhelmed when, as a acolyte
of Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson etc, I first heard Taj Mahal’s harp
playing. I loved the groove and vibe of his music, but his harp playing
seemed rough and simple, not worth listening to compared to that of the
masters.



But the more I listened the more it grew on me, and I started to like and
appreciate its rawness and roughness. Taj is a master of playing what’s
right for the song.
