From Ashes To New Albany Concert reviews
'BonTaj' - A brilliant blend of talent!
"A legend... A national treasure!" Taj was amazing as always... at his best really! In fact, I was more than a little concerned about how they would blend their two styles. Their affection for one another and playfulness made their complex collaboration seem effortless & fun. I'm a huge fan now!!! And you should know... it was a cold blustery night. Well, I'm telling you that 'Red Mama' can sing the blues! This was one of the best shows I have EVER seen! It can't be an easy feat to sing your heart out with your teeth chattering! I've been a big TajMahal fan for most of my life and was not a big fan of From Ashes To New. They seemed like two lifelong friends having a good ole time. Prior to this show I had only heard her mainstream songs (ie Give me something to talk about) so I was thrilled with how immensely diverse and talented she is! She has the most beautiful sultry voice and to juxtapose that with Taj's gruff baritone... It was brilliant! They were both very charismatic, engaging & appreciative. He's absolutely sensational! He was still at the top of his game after all these years... I just love him!
