Stephen Foehr: Taj Mahal, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Taj Mahal's autobiography traces six decades of blues, roots music, global collaboration, and a life spent expanding the sound of American music.

"A living link to the old blues traditions" -- Mick Jagger

Over the course of a remarkable sixty-year career, Taj Mahal has forged his own path, embracing a bold musical hybridity that fuses West African and Caribbean sounds with Delta blues, jazz, gospel and rock'n'roll. Through retracing his ancestral roots, Taj has remapped the foundational influences of popular music and reimagined the possibilities of a truly 'global' sound.

In Taj Mahal: Autobiography of a Bluesman, Taj steps out from the shadows, revealing parts of himself previously unseen. From collaborations with legends like John Lee Hooker, the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Bonnie Raitt and Bob Marley, to musical adventures spanning Santa Monica, Kaua'i and even tours through African war zones, he recounts a life lived in fearless pursuit of his passions and creative calling. The result is an insightful and honest account of the life of a bluesman.

This Remastered edition includes a foreword from blues, jazz, pop and gospel singer, Hazel Miller.
