Brown eyed handsom man is acctually originally a chuck berry song. Ii ncase you didnt know Taj Mahal is mainly a blues singer/songwriter. He only did a few albums with a caribian influence. 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.
