If you havnt already I highly suggest you listen to his blues stuff, its much better than his offshoot stuff.

Chuck Berry's version is classic, but i rather listen to Taj's.
Honestly his blues stuff is good, but I prefer the obscure reggae stuff better.

What obscure reggae do you like?
A lot of the stuff I like is mid 70s - mid 8os.

Two quick personals:

Junior Byles - Fade Away (introduced to this by the Slits cover ofcourse

)

Maybe not quite straight reggae but:

The G_aylads - Africa

That's true about Taj Mahal. When I seen his name I didn't think reggae. Would like to hear a reggae tune by him.
Not actually heard much by him, but there is this film called "Rolling Stones, Rock & Roll Circus" with Taj on it. Well top !!!
Anyway back to the thread "Favourite Reggae Songs"
It's difficult I love so many................

Ganga Smuggling - Eek a Mouse
Mr Bojangles - John Holt
Babylon must Fall - Jennifer Gad

Well check out his version of Brown Eyed Handsome man. Like All nite said, theres a few carribean-influenced tunes hes done.

All of taj's reggae stuff sounds very overproduced to me. None of the tracks seem blenede together, all the drums and horns have a kind of soca sound to them.

Hmm I'd have to say my favourite Bob Marley songs are 400 years, concrete jungle and down pressor.
