Details: Product Description The Blind Boys Of Alabama With Taj M Ahal From the Artist This first-ever Blind Boys-Taj Mahal album collaboration was a joy for Taj. "There are just some wonderful tunes that allow me to find a totally different way to play on this album," says Taj Mahal. "It's exciting to be a part of something that is such incredible music.""A lot of Christmas music is focused on Santa Claus and what gifts we might get during the holidays," says founding Blind Boy Jimmy Carter. "We wanted to bring the emphasis back to what Christmas is really all about, a celebration of God's unconditional love, which is demonstrated every year when millions of people do nice things for others instead of thinking only about themselves. When you think about it, the kind of love for others that Christmas brings out is the real miracle of the season." About the Artist Two-time Grammy Award-winning composer, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Taj Mahal is one of the most prominent and influential figures in the recent history of blues and roots music. Though his career began five decades ago with American blues, he has broadened his artistic scope over the years to include music representing virtually every corner of the world – west Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, Europe, the Hawaiian islands and so much more. Though influenced by his love of historical and ancestral roots in these genres, he never strayed too far from his country blues foundation. What ties it all together is his insatiable interest in musical discovery – an interest which has led him to this Gospel Christmas project.
