~~ Taj Mahal's been chasing the blues around the world for years, but rarely with the passion, energy, and clarity he brought to his first three albums. The Natch'L Blues is one Taj Mahal his best albums... Taj is backed by a grindig gritty band that includes a cookin' JESSE ED DAVIS...
Infact...This album is amazing. You never hear the blues quite like Taj plays the blues. "Corinna," "Ain't That A Lot of Love" are really great blues/rock hybrids, and they are among the standout tacks. A great thing about this album too is that it has a timeless feel, contemporary in any era - the hallmark of any great recording.
The blues never sounded so fresh as it does in "The Natch'l Blues" ...recorded in the spring and fall of 1968, opens with more stripped-down Delta-style blues in the manner of his debut, but adds a little more amplification (partly courtesy of Al Kooper on organ) before moving into wholly bigger sound on numbers like "She Caught the Katy and Left Me a Mule to Ride" and "The Cuckoo" -- the latter, in particular, features crunchy electric and acoustic guitars and Gary Gilmore playing his bass almost like a lead instrument, like a bluesman's answer to John Entwistle.
Most notable, however, may be the two original closing numbers, "You Don't Miss Your Water ('Til Your Well Runs Dry)" and "Ain't That a Lot of Love," which offer Taj Mahal treading onto Otis Redding territory. "Ain't That a Lot of Love," is driven by a hard electric guitar sound and a relentless bass part that sounds like a more urgent version of the bassline from the Spencer Davis Group's "Gimme Some Lovin'."
