Taj Mahal - Corinna

I love this song. It’s by far one of my favorites. 

Awhile back, my dad gave me some of his old records from the 60′s and 70′s. in the batch was Taj Mahal: Recycling The Blues & Other Related Stuff. On side 1, Song 6 is ‘Corinna’. (It’s the only time I’ve ever see it spelled this way and not “Corrina”)

I put that record on today while picking up around the house and can’t stop singing it. So, I’m sharing this song with you. As luck would have it, one of my other favorites, Paste Magazine recently recorded Taj singing Corinna with Keb’Mo’ (8/24/2017). The 1972 live recording on my Dad’s record is the best, but it is so good to see these guys play this song for us in 2017. A gift. 

You belong among the wildflowers You belong in a boat out at sea Sail away, kill off the hours You belong somewhere you feel free.

This is pure. A 12 string guitar cover of Fleetwood Mac’s Landslide by Chicago subway performer Slim Freedom (Ashley Stevenson). I think I’m late to this game, but I had to share. Let yourself go through the interweb strands and search her name and music.. the way she bends a song to make it her own is so so so damn refreshing.
