Annie's Lover Taj Mahal, whose real name is Henry St. Clair Fredericks, was born in New York in 1942. Born into a musical family, he learned various instruments from a young age. In the early 1960s, while studying agriculture at the University of Massachusetts, he began his musical career under the name Taj Mahal. In 1964, he moved to Los Angeles and formed the Rising Suns with Ry Cooder and others. In 1966, he released the single \"Candy Man\" on Columbia Records and also produced an album, but it was never released (it was released in 1992), and the band disbanded. After that, he began a solo career, and with a band featuring guitarist Jesse Ed Davis as his backing band, he released \"Taj Mahal\" and \"The Natch'l Blues\" in 1968, and the double album \"Giant Step\/De Ole Folks at Home\" in 1969, both of which received critical acclaim. Since then, he has continued to release albums of world roots music, not only blues, but also reggae, Cajun, gospel, Hawaiian, Caribbean, and African music, and has won numerous music awards, including Grammys, for albums such as \"Senor Blues\" in 1997 and \"TajMo\" in 2018. Their latest release is the 2023 jazz cover album \"Savoy\".\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TOKYO JAPAN CD SHOP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53226877059381,"sku":"4546266221729","price":4300.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/5966\/5973\/files\/51RLDBBd8JL._AC.jpg?v=1785372243","url":"https:\/\/tokyojapancdshop.com\/products\/4546266221729","provider":"TOKYO JAPAN CD SHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
