I use to play gigs. I learned early that, along with the song, that a believable story teller must deliver it. Taj Mahal and Keb Mo. A small amount of bourbon, a small cigar, and this video, is a very good end to this day! Happy!
i learned the basics to this classic song some 30-plus years ago. But I was a teenaged suburban kid, and even though chords werent that hard im still trying my best to make this song sit up and sing. Inspired stuff, no lie.
One time I saw Taj in Rochester, NY. I decided to bring my well-cared for double LP, "The Real Thing," with me to the show. Wouldn't you know, I was able to get him to sign it...one of the great treasures of my life!
Thanks for reminding me of this, Pat. I just listened to it again - those two men play that song so sweet and pure and sad all at the same time. Tears in my eyes by the end. What troubled times so many of our black friends have had, and how beautifully they have endured.
I love these guys and have listened to them for many years now I love the contrast of Taj gritty raspy vocals Kebs fluid vocals. And oh the guitar porn here!!!
There was a tv station in Toronto that used to play some wild stuff in the middle of the night (and day) back in the 80s and one of those was Sonny Terry&Brownie McGhee live in concert and I was hooked from the first note. Same city used to be chock full of great record stores and an employee at Sam the Record man on Yonge talked this punk kid into buying Taj Mahal Natch'l Blues. Needless to say I put the punk on the side burner....
Saw them at the Cuthbert theater in Eugene Oregon and it was one of the best shows I've ever been to In My Life! And I have been to a hell of a lot of good shows!
Taj Mahal can tell stories through morning and take a breakfast break and then continue to tell.
Looking at this video I caught myself that I am sitting and smiling...
That's amazing!

I love the blues played honestly and we are blessed with the most honest music
This is one of the most important things to listen to regarding music history. Do not just play this video; listen to it.
1:59 Diving Duck Blues
13:18 Life is Beautiful
22:46 Corinna
Gives me a Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee vibe. I love it. Real music.
Hot damn, that there is some mighty fine music!
I love the diving duck blues these men are legends it thrills me with chicken skin love listening this🤣🤣 this music works healing

I appreciate your story thanks for sharing
Merci à Lo. Rousseaux pour tuyaux ! Génial !

"You got to do another" … and he did, and the goosebumps when up my spine, and my heart burst open, knocked me on my knees, man. Good god almighty...
Well said. Same here.

@@dong1872 Indeed, they have.
Saw Taj front row Kew West High School Auditorium 1980. He reduced us to ashes. Best concert ever and I'm almost 70! LEGAND!
So glad to have found this! This is just plain GREATNESS! I have been listening to these two Blues men for years!

Loved your show at the Oregon Zoo July 2018 Thanks... and first saw Taj Mahal at the Fillmore East late 60's early 70's who can remember.

There was Sonny Terry & Brownie Maghee and now there is Taj Mo'. We need more.

Now there's a team that was to be reckoned with!
