  • Summary

  • In August 1967, a year after the Rising Sons disbanded, Taj Mahal recorded his self-titled debut album. It has long been considered one of the great blues albums. And Ry Cooder was on board! He played rhythm guitar and mandolin on five of the album's eight tracks. This bonus episode of The Ry Cooder Story takes a look at the production, the songs, and the aftermath.


    This podcast frequently uses small snippets of musical recordings in podcast episodes for educational, review, and commentary purposes. In all cases, without exception, we believe this is protected by fair use in the U.S., fair dealing in the U.K. and EEA, and similar exceptions in the copyright laws of other nations. No more of the original than necessary is used, and excerpts are edited into long-form narratives, making the use transformative in nature.


    Written, produced and edited by Frank Schnelle

    Theme and background music by Chris Haugen
