Digitally remastered by Vic Anesini (Sony Music, New York, New York).
Personnel: Taj Mahal (vocals, guitar, National guitar, banjo, harp, fife, harmonica); John Hall (guitar); Joseph Daley (valve trombone, tuba, horns); Earl McIntyre, Howard Johnson , Bob Stewart (horns); John Simon (keyboards); Bill Rich (electric bass); Greg Thomas (drums); Rocky Dzidzornu (percussion).
Audio Mixer: Jen Wyler.
Liner Note Author: Stanley Crouch.
Recording information: Fillmore East, New York, NY (02/13/1971).
Photographers: Bruce Steinberg; Fred Lombardi; Don Peterson.
Arranger: Taj Mahal.
Taj Mahal's talent for bringing a mix-and-match sensibility to the raw materials of the blues is on full display on this 1971 live recording. In addition to his ease with solo country blues (the opener here, the traditional "Fishin' Blues," is a great example), Taj Mahal has a backing band that includes electric guitar, piano, bass, drums, a conga player, and a full brass section. Rather than "corrupting" the blues, Taj Mahal manages to draw a straight line through 20th-century music, incorporating parade themes, jazz, R&B, rock, and funk, while throwing some curveballs along the way (note his use of the six-holed fife on "Ain't Gwine to Whistle Dixie [Any Mo']").
The overall vibe of THE REAL THING is that of a good-time party, both uptown and downtown, backwoods and sophisticated. "Tom and Sally Drake," which features a duet between banjo and tuba, draws these two worlds together most explicitly. Taj Mahal's folk roots are evident throughout (especially on conversational story-songs, including "Big Kneed Gal"), but the band pulls out all the stops on driving boogie grooves like "Diving Duck Blues." Remastered sound, vintage photos, and liner notes by Stanley Crouch complete this fine package.
