Episode Details

Kyle Meredith With… the legendary Taj Mahal! With a fresh Grammy-nominated live album, Swinging Live at the Church in Tulsa, Taj reflects on his lifelong musical journey, channeling the blues’ ancestral roots from 12th-century Mali to modern-day Tulsa. From breaking the strings on his step dad's hidden guitar to crafting a sound that’s unmistakably his own, Taj dives deep into how history, culture, and innovation shaped his singular style. Plus, he breaks down the importance of vinyl, the art of live performance, and why church acoustics make magic. Spoiler: he’s still not tired of “Queen Bee” after all these years. A true treasure trove of blues wisdom, Taj Mahal proves why his music keeps thriving.
