Product Description
From Amazon.com
This mid-'60s curio would have served as an introduction to two remarkable musicians had it not been buried in the vaults at Columbia Records from 1966 until 1992. Taj Mahal and Ry Cooder were two of the unfortunate Sons, who were briefly an L.A. club phenomenon. Neither man was in full possession of his talent, and the album (produced by Terry Melcher of Byrds fame) is more rewarding as an historical artifact than as a country-blues breakthrough. --Steven Stolder

a gem in the rough, thumbs up!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rising Sons W/Ry Cooder/Taj Ma (Audio CD)
Yes, it's loose and sometimes the vocals are out of tune, and it's not as studied and particular as the more well known Ry Cooder major label product. I dont care .... I like it a whole lot! Mining the same roots rock territory that Van Morrison was tapping into around '65, '66, before the influence of Hendrix, heavy blues, psychedelia etc - for better or worse. "Flying So High" even sounds like, ahem, Monkees! Cool by me. : )

this album rocks!,

Don't let that negative reviewers' narrow idea of what "good" music is prevent you from discovering these genuine, energetic, rockin' songs. They're not all perfect, but it's worth obtaining a copy just to have tracks like If The River Was Whiskey, 2:10 Train and Sunny's Dream.

This is a great album. It may not display all of the refined talent of Taj and Ry's later work, but if you are adventurous (as Taj and Ry always have been) and interested in the their early work, you will be rewarded. I believe that Taj was right out of the Julliard School and Ry was just a teen when they recorded this album. Forgive them if their skill is not perfect, but enjoy this music for its energy and youth.
