Notes
Made in Germany on labels.

The phonographic copyright on labels says 1967 (the record was recorded in August 1967), but the album was released in early 1968 in the US. It is highly unlikely that German CBS would have released this debut from an at this time quite unknown artist (or even get the masters) before the US release date.

Taj Mahal
Profile:
Henry St. Claire Fredericks Jr. (born May 17, 1942), better known by his stage name Taj Mahal, is an American blues musician. He plays the guitar, piano, banjo, harmonica, and many other instruments, often incorporating elements of world music into his work. Mahal has done much to reshape the definition and scope of blues music over the course of his more than 50-year career by fusing it with nontraditional forms, including sounds from the Caribbean, Africa, India, Hawaii, and the South Pacific.
