About this album

Music Keeps Me Together finds Taj Mahal fusing blues tradition with funk, rhythm and blues, and Caribbean-inflected soul into one of his most fluid mid-1970s albums. Released in 1975, it shows Mahal broadening his roots sound without losing the easy swing and expressive vocal character that define his work. The record moves between reflective originals and sharp reinterpretations, including a version of Chuck Berry’s Brown-Eyed Handsome Man, while keeping social observation and musical warmth at its core. It reflects Mahal’s strength as a genre-crossing artist who could honour the past while making it feel contemporary and alive.
