The Blues Brothers

Saw Taj Mahal with Bad Boy Billy on the South Side of Chicago back in the day... those were good times!

In my fifties I made a career change to the railroad, where I was a conductor and engineer in freight service and in later years moved over to engineer in passenger service. This is one of my favorite railroad songs, along with “Rock Island Line”; these songs have teeth, and soul! BTW, I always hated that stupid sounding song “I’ve been working on the railroad”.

I’ve seen Jaj Mahal multiple times in the sixties and seventies. Always performing great!

Henry St. Claire Fredericks Jr. could have written a song about any one of the IRT or IND trains that passed through his native Harlem, but in his familiar form of Taj Mahal, he treats us to song about the Katy train. Hurray, Taj!

Come onnnnn…..Mr.Taj Mahal…..come onnnnnn……my brother kill that shit!!!! It just feels and sounds so damn good!!! Much respect to this legend Peace and 1Love 👊🏾💯

Love Taj. Saw him in a tiny club in Denver in '71. " Giant Step" is still a favorite LP.

Is that Hugh Dillion playing the guitar?

Taj get money like a ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

All my childhood I sang 'she complicated, left me immune to ride'

Brilliant music!...... but where's the credits, location and date? Skyville Live, Nashville, Dec 2015

Taj is one of the most talented musicians to ever walk the surface of this planet. What an absolute treasure.

I like that groove!

I breally like the guitar player

Born Henry St. Claire Fredercks in Harlem, NYC, May 17, 1941❤❤❤❤

Beautiful ❤️

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "She Caught the Katy (And Left Me a Mule to Ride)" is an upbeat blues written by Taj Mahal and James Rachell.[1] It was first released on Taj Mahal's 1968 album The Natch'l Blues,[2] and is one of Mahal's most famous compositions.[3] The song has since become a blues standard and has been covered many times. It was used on the soundtrack for the 1980 movie The Blues Brothers (the song plays over the opening credits as Jake Blues leaves prison).[4] According to John Belushi's widow, it was Belushi's favorite blues song.[5] The "Katy" refers to the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad.[6]

No one in the world can ever tire of this chooooooon!

I saw Tah Mahal at the Santa Clara pop festival Just awesome, his handkerchief is his trademark.

Love it. Congratulations to you and John Hyatt(sp) on your recent Emmy.

I don't think Taj gets the recognition he deserves an absolute legend cliche but true

Love when a cat just sits on a stool and jus deals it out!

I once met Taj at a friend of a friend's house in Berkeley, CA. in '71, just as his Real Taj (2nd album) was coming out, we listened to him playing what he called 'porch music' all day, (and what a good. clean 'window pane' trip that was! Also saw him at the Fillmore West with the Howard Johnson tuba horns on several occasions, including Led Zeppelin's first time through in January of '69, what a national treasure!

Love me some taj!

This and a few others from Taj are on the play list for my boat. It always picks up the mood a few notches for everyone aboard. Get rendition!

Saw Taj back in the 70"s when he was skinny. Salt. Newport R.I.

This man is a national treasure!

Brilliant rendition, Taj Mahal delivers!

Tu Meke! Old!……But, Still Soundin Awesome In 2022

I caught a Taj mahal show at the Idaho State fairgrounds in Boise in 19 9 5 or 4 I can't remember cuz I was drunk. John Hammond Jr was there Taj mahal and Robert Cray and I think the white people in the black people got along pretty f****** famously on that stage. Who gives the f*** what color you are if you got the blues you got the blues and quit your f****** crying

People think that f****** Dan aykroyd and John Belushi are racist because they like the blues and wanted to emulate their f****** heroes? The f*** is y'all's problems so I don't know who the original is but they rocked it f****** John Belushi and Dan Around rocked it and rock every other song that I've heard them doing. im saying what the f*** is everybody bitching about racist my ass I ain't racist I love the blues I love John Belushi love Taj mahal I love muddy Waters I love little water I love Robert Johnson I love Dan aykroyd I love eric Clapton John Mayo blues traveler pinetop Perkins f****** Jonny Lang Kenny Wayne Shepherd Stevie Ray Vaughan and his brother canned heat keb Mo I love the f****** blues. quit your f****** crying it ain't racist to f****** play the songs that made you who you are that made you want to be a blues player made you want to blow a harp or made you want to f****** shred a guitar the f*** is wrong with yall? Quitcho bitchin and listen. to the f****** blues.

Duane is certainly applauding!

So amzing there are no more views on this video. Incredible song. My band, 20 years ago attempted this song with not much success. Judge for yourself.ua-cam.com/video/Y0aAFV1BZZ8/v-deo.html. A bunch of 90's hippes giving it a go.

So so good!! Although I do love the bass line that Donald "Duck" Dunn from The Blues Brothers put to this song. Simply perfect!

Loving this tune you recorded for us utubers..
