TAJ MAHAL PERFORMANCE REVIEW
By Christopher Blagg

 


Blues music today is saturated with tired cliches and overworn “my baby left me” stereotypes devoid of any real feeling or spirit. Thankfully there’s Taj Mahal to point the way home. As the kickoff to the Lowell Summer Music Series at Boarding House Park, the 68-year-old legend gave a rousing reminder of what great blues music is.
Strutting onto the stage with his usual Hawaiian shirt and fedora, Mahal and his trio (Bill Rich on bass, Kester Smith on drums) injected vitality and swagger into an exhausted music form. Put simply, Taj Mahal makes blues fun again.
That’s not to say Mahal managed to avoid the standard tropes of blues music. There were plenty of moans about “big-legged mamas” and loaded sexual innuendo, but by the sheer magnitude of his personality - and his booming, force-of-nature baritone - Mahal was able to transcend the cliches and give them new life.

STILL LOCKED DOWN
 
In a trial fraught with legal malpractice and witness coercion, Mississippi Judge Marcus Gordon oversaw one of the most blatantly corrupt trials in history, culminating in the staggering over-sentencing of sisters Gladys and Jamie Scott to double-life each in an armed robbery where no one was murdered or harmed and the amount alleged to have been taken was a whopping $11.00.

Ferriday Louisiana joins Mississippi Blues Trail
 
 
The Mississippi Blues trail now extends into Louisiana.
The 107th Mississippi Blues Trail marker was dedicated in Ferriday Saturday, unveiled by local blues musicians YZ Ealey, Hezekiah Early and Lil’ Poochie.
The marker, which is located in front of the Delta Music Museum, commemorates the role the Ferriday nightclub Haney’s Big House played in the delta blues scene. The plaque names Early and Ealey, both who played in the house band, as important musicians associated with the club.
 
After the unveiling, Ealey said he was honored to see his name listed on the plaque, and Early said he was glad to see local and personal history preserved.
Many blues legends, including B.B. King, Fats Domino and Big Joe Turner played at the club, which was owned and operated by Will Haney.
