Henry Saint Clair Fredericks, who uses the stage name Taj Mahal, is an American blues musician, a self-taught singer-songwriter and film composer who plays the guitar, piano, banjo, and harmonica, among many other instruments. Taj is fast moving up on my personal list of favourite Blues artists (top five now). Incredible guitarist and harp player and one special husky, throaty vocalist! In my humble opinion, the best Country-Blues songs (that I've heard and can remember) are: Frankie And Albert; Fishin' Blues; (this makes me smile); Six Days On The Road; Corinna, Farther On Down The Road and Take A Giant Step.
I love this man!
