  • Chill Blues Album

    3 out of 5 stars
    Ubav_IMarch 9, 2024United States🇺🇸

    Recycling The Blues is a pretty chill album. The first half (live) showcases various aspects of Taj's musical tastes - from blues, to soul, to more classic African influences. The second half (studio) even features The Pointer Sisters joining him. It's all quite enjoyable. No major issues, though nothing particularly exceptional either. But it's kind of a fun album to have on sometimes.
