Taj Mahal Jesse Ed Davis/OH,USA 1970

This is a precious live recording of Taj Mahal when he was with Jesse Ed Davis. It’s also a high quality soundboard. It’s not very decorative, but you can enjoy simple and straight blues rock. The harmonica is also featured heavily, so it’s recommended for blues fans rather than rock fans. However, as always, Jesse’s hard guitar, which cuts in from Taj’s shouts on “DIVING DUCK BLUES”, is the best.
