Album Notes & Community Reviews
Significantly expanding his musical palette, the blues revivalist incorporates prominent Caribbean rhythms and a massive brass section into his acoustic country-blues foundation. 'Happy Just to Be Like I Am' features lively, expansive arrangements that reflect a joyous exploration of the African diaspora's musical interconnectedness. It marks a creative high point in Taj Mahal's quest to modernize traditional roots music.
