Product Description

Amazon.com essential recording

On this 1974 recording, Taj Mahal ventures beyond blues and soul to explore the Caribbean side of his heritage. He sings in Spanish on "Why Did You Have to Desert Me?", translates the Anglo folk song "Blackjack Davey" to reggae, and covers the Slickers ("Johnny Too Bad") and Bob Marley ("Slave Driver"). His smoked-glass voice evokes a stormy swamp on "Cajun Waltz" and a sunny island on "Clara (St. Kitts Woman)." Rather than mimicking Third World styles, Mahal incorporates them into his own folk and blues-based aesthetic, while humorously nodding back to Otis Redding again on "Big Mama." --Rick Mitchell

5.0 out of 5 stars アメリカン・レゲエ＆カリビアン・ブルーズ, 2005/10/29
このレビューの引用元: Mo' Roots (CD)
タージ・マハールがいよいよその音楽的な展開にあたり、アメリカのルーツ・ミュージックに基礎を置きながらも、ジャマイカ／カリブ海の音楽への大胆なアプローチを求めていくことによって、独自の道を切り拓いていくこととなる端緒となった、彼にとって９枚目のＬＰとなる1974年の作品である。

スリッカーズの“Johnny Too Bad”やウェイラーズの“Srave Driver”をカヴァーとして取り上げているように、ここでは全面にわたってレゲエに対するアプローチを試みている。しかし、レゲエの素直なコピーというわけではなく、リズム面に関して、レゲエの重く引きずるようなリズムというよりも、もっと汎カリブ海的とでも言ったらいいのか、明るくて抜けのいいリズムが全体を支配しており、印象として非常に人なつこく取っつきやすい。アレンジに関して、取ってつけたような感は全くなく、レゲエ／カリブ海音楽が、この時点ですでに自分自身のものとしてきっちりと消化されているのがスゴい。彼はその後に発表される“Music Fuh Ya' ”や“Evolution”などの作品で、さらにこの路線を邁進することとなる。

現在に至るまで、単純にアメリカのブルーズを追求するという姿勢にとどまらず、もっと広汎な視野を持って、アメリカのルーツ･ミュージックの再構築を図ってきた人物である。レゲエはどうもねぇ･･･　という人にも、親しむための最初の取り掛かりとなる作品として良いのではないだろうか。
