Review

Entertainment Weekly (p.77) - "Taj Mahal continues to resist the constraints of genre. And so the reggae rhythms of 'Never Let You Go' are provided by ukulele, trombone, and Latin workhorses Los Lobos..." -- Grade: B+
Down Beat (p.86) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "For this 40th anniversary oeuvre, Taj Mahal marshals cues from the furthest reaches of blues-based music to create a retrospective of the influences that have informed four decades of experimentation and innovation."
Dirty Linen (pp.42-43) - "'Strong Man Holler,' with no guests and simple accompaniment, is classic Taj Mahal at his best: a bit of a low growl Howlin' Wolf delivery on a song that only sounds like it's been around for 75 years."
Living Blues (p.38) - "Mahal's move to Heads Up for the appropriately titled MAESTRO finds the veteran artist in top musical condition, full of vitality and as eager to get the listener moving and shaking as he is during his live shows."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.116) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[W]hen Ben Harper turns his guitar up, things get interesting, the New Orleans Social Club's two offerings are a blast, and Los Lobos are heard to better effect on 'TV Mama'..."

Title Note

American original Taj Mahal has been redefining the blues while maintaining an unassailably authentic sound since the 1960s, and on his 2008 album, MAESTRO, his powers show no sign of diminishment. From the flashy funk of "Dust You Down" to the reggae grooves of "Brown Man, Black Man," and the New Orleans second-line rhythm of "Hello Josephine," he often ventures beyond the traditional blues but it's still there in everything he does, like a sonic fingeprint that can't be altered.
