Labor Of Love 200gr 2LP

Taj Mahal (voc, g, p, b, harp, bjo, mand) & var. other artists

The blues live on because the blues give people
life, not the other way around. Talk about the
blues with Grammy winning singer-songwriter and
composer Taj Mahal, or Tim Duffy, founder of the
Music Maker Relief Foundation, and you'll quickly
understand how deeply they grasp this. So it's no
surprise that their shared love of blues has
created a special vinyl-only album release that's
got the loose, easy feel of a porch-sitting guitar
strum, sipping sweet tea on a warm summer day.
'Labor Of Love' comprises recordings made by
Duffy, hanging out with Taj and other artists in a
Houston hotel room and during visits to the Music
Maker Relief Foundation headquarters in
Hillsborough, North Carolina.
Taj and Tim first connected in the mid-1990s as
Tim was establishing the foundation. The
foundation is dedicated to preserving Southern
roots music by directly supporting senior artists
in need, while documenting their music and sharing
their stage and recording talents with the world.
A CD collection released by the foundation
featuring Music Maker artists caught Taj's
attention. Tim invited Taj to his place in rural
Pinnacle, N.C., where he hung out with several of
the artists. Taj loved how they played and sang,
but he especially loved ?getting to know their
lives and how they made things work.?
Not much time passed before a performing tour was
launched, with Taj as the headliner. Meanwhile,
Tim, sensing an incredibly rich opportunity, was
hauling along with the tour, high-end recording
gear. He set it up in hotel rooms hoping to
capture an impromptu session. One night in
Houston, magic happened. A few senior bluesmen,
Tim, Taj and the daughter of Katie Mae,
immortalized in the Lightin' Hopkins classic
'Katie Mae Blues' hung out together in a hotel
room in Houston. Taj picked up an acoustic guitar
and started in on classic tunes ? 'Stack-O-Lee',
'Walking Blues', and more. The tape was rolling.
During the time of the tour, Taj was also visiting
during hang-out, barbecue and recording sessions
at Music Maker's new North Carolina headquarters
in Hillsborough. When the music got going, Taj
would play some piano, bass, harp, banjo, mandolin
and whatever else was needed.
Now is the time for these immortalized sessions to
be heard. So here they are on a solid piece of
wax. And what wax it is ? a full-on 200-gram vinyl
Analogue Productions masterpiece plated and
pressed at Quality Record Pressings, maker of the
world's best-sounding LPs. Packaged in a Stoughton
Printing tip-on gatefold jacket. You won't find a
more intimate portrayal of Taj as a freewheeling,
fun-loving, always-in-the-pocket sideman.
