Taj Mahal: Like Never Before
Max Bell, Vox, August 1991
TAJ MAHAL HASN'T BEEN HEARD in such a pristine setting since his Columbia heyday, and after too many years of his slogging for well-meaning but footling little labels, this news is good news. But a few cuts on his new record are already familiar, despite star guests like Dr John and the Pointer Sisters being invited to the bluesman's revival party.
