Se¤or Blues is one of Taj Mahal's best latter-day albums, a rollicking journey through classic blues styles performed with contemporary energy and flair. There's everything from country-blues to jazzy uptown blues on Se¤or Blues, and Taj hits all of areas in between, including R&B and soul. Stylistically, it's similar to most of his albums, but he's rarely been as effortlessly fun and infectious as he is here. ~ Thom Owens

Professional Reviews

JazzTimes (9/97, p.68) - "Taj Mahal really digs deep and scores a direct hit with the rootsy SENOR BLUES....A national treasure still digging for roots after all these years."

Vibe (8/97, p.151) - "...Mahal refurbishes yet another room in the big house we call blues....Taj Mahal is working some serious 20th century hoodoo-man swing here..."
