    What a rare track and with such quality of sound. It is blue as Mississippi blues.

    Taj Mahal was one of the first bluesmen to acknowledge the influence and deep relationship between blacks and Appalachian whites. while all that racism was going on, blacks and Appalachian whites were living together and making music together. Few people know that the banjo was actually an African instrument. And if you listen closely you can hear the Appalachian influence in a lot of Taj Mahal music. same for Appalachian music and it's call and response. I can listen to Taj Mahal all day.

      I was sure it was a Qanun playing, and could easily notice some middle eastern tunes in it as well, especially the clarinet part.
