As mentioned in another comment, "The Real Thing" was a fantastic album.
I used to sing my baby girl to sleep to "Fishing Blues" evey night. She loved it because of the line "my baby's going fishing too".
Recently, I sang my grandson to sleep to the same song and saw her watching me. Her comment with a smile was "It still works, Dad!"
I have seen Taj Mahal 4 times, with a band and solo and if you get the chance - make sure to go see him.
