Taj Mahal - Leaving Trunk

Leon Russell's drummer, Chuck Blackwell, killed it on this one as he did with a couple of Freddie King albums Leon produced.

I love the blues, and this is seminal of the genre. This vibe makes me want to dance through the day.

Oliver Holmes, you should fill up a big giant pipe and smoke some sour diesel that way you can get dumber than you are stupid dumb🤪

really great riffs

J.E.D. That’s some deep funk.

The music is my high! I get my high from music and dancing! Best feeling in the world for me. 😎 💯 🔥

Shut the front door!!!! This song hits it!! Love it!

While at work today ......I was in charge of the music.....this muffucka came on.
I walked over to the Bluetooth and put it on 11 and the whole shop just shut up and lovedd it.
One of the reasons electricity was invented

Damn I had not heard that song for a long long time, brings back memories

The way he just toys with tht harmonica. Incredible

This music triggers me mos lit

The vibe of this is where atomic rooster got the vibe for " all across the country ".
Both badass

BLUES FOR YOUR SOUL

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Why did Led Zeppelin not rip him off? If they had, he would have already been in the rocknroll Hall of Fame. This is a classic Led Zep rip-off should have been.

Soulful little tune right there

It just don't get no better than this. It surely hits the note ya'll.

This song this album cover - exactly how I feel when I hear Taj Mahal play the blues.

"Nationwide Is On Your Side"😂: Shame on Brad Paisley for stealing this to make a car insurance commercial!

In before someone says, "x brought me here." F the machine. Organic music ftw.

Nope
And if you have a diagnosed mental illness?
A romanticizing drug use comment gets traffic

A I can't duplicate music like this. Gotta have a soul attached to it brah.

Love that Taj!! We won’t forget that concert back in 88! Just old taj and an old flat top!! Don’t get any better than that!! 🎉🎉🎉

He's so good brings the spiy for me✌️🐓☺️

This is My jamm!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

More predictive progrsmming. Burger chips and dr pepper better than this c rap in luton yet again. Done by the bugs in food in sussex. Preston drove and preston circus. Could blues community free me and get me on tour without getting me lol. Thanks jake goldenstar gospel blues. Listened to this in edgware road and kkk must have heard my blues preferences and then blew up police station and starburgers closed and replaced by german company. Pray jerry co walls come crashing down. Great album. Aint that a lot of love

Nationwide is on your side ~

This is the cut Jagger was dancing to in his famous scene in Performance. They overdubbed Poor White Hound Dog later.

In the music bizz kids! We call songs like this one. TASTY! Thank you TAJ for nailing it! Whatever you do don't fire that harmonica player! He's a beast!!!

Perfect porch music. Always love Taj!!

The song was performed
by The Keef Hartley Band.

Damn! Ry Cooder is just on the money on this track! I always think of his slide playing but man oh man his rhythm playing here is the cat's pajamas. Thanks as always Uncle Larry, it is greatly enjoyed and appreciated brother.

Holy fuck!!

This was recorded when people had talent, and talented people made records like this. If you listen to the radio today, you will realize how amazing this was and how bad the current stuff truly is.

Classic stuff!

Little Tommy Bukovac sent me here. Hadn't heard this song in years. Killer!

Heavy

What a fantastic tune

This song may get me to finally do the Taj deep-dive I've meant to start for years. Shame on me. But if anything will kickstart THAT project it's this killer song. POW!

I went upstairs to pack my leavin' trunk
I ain't see no blues, whiskey made me sloppy drunk
I ain't never seen no whiskey, the blues made me sloppy drunk
I'm going back to Memphis babe, where I'll have much better luck
Look out Mama you know you asked me to be your King
She said you kiddin' man, if you want it, keep it hid
But please don't let my husband, my main man catch you here
Please don't let my main man, my husband catch you here
The blues are mushed up into three different ways
One said go the other two said stay
I woke up this mornin' with the blues three different ways
You know one say go "Baby I want to hang up", the other two said stay
Wake up mama I got something to tell you
You know I'm a man who love to sing the blues
Now you got to wake up baby, mama now, I got something; I got something to tell you
Well you know I'm the man, oh yes and I love to sing the blues
Come on baby, Come on
I went upstairs to pack my leavin' trunk, you know
I ain't see no blues or whiskey made me sloppy drunk
I ain't never seen no whiskey, the blues made me sloppy drunk
I go home baby and I lay down on the lawn

Listening to this song makes me feel cool..and cool I am not....

Taj was so good at everything growing up I remember sitting in his lap teaching me piano 5 years old . Holy shit Iam crying big time

Led Zep something going on here??
Hats off to Harper meets Traveling Riverside Blues

One of the best songs ever written & sung by the best.

Kinda makes you feel like just putting your foot down on the pedal and saying bye bye to all your troubles

Jesse Ed amazing guitar player 😮

Check out the Tedeschi Trucks informal jam with Taj.
