As it says in the masthead, the Mudcat Cafe is " a magazine dedicated to blues and folk music". For some reason, we don't hear much about the blues here in the Forum - the vast majority of the folks here seem to be, well, folkies.

In two weeks, Taj Mahal is slated to appear at a festival in my town. I am unfamiliar with much of his recorded work, but from what I've heard, it appears to me that he must be the major figure today to combine folk and blues in his music, more so than anyone else I can think of.

Any thoughts?

Cheers,
Michael
