Producer: David Rubinson. Reissue producer: Bob Irwin. Recorded in May \u0026amp; October 1968. Originally released on Columbia (9698). Includes liner notes by Stanley Crouch. Digitally remastered by Vic Anesini (Sony Music, New York, New York). Although Taj Mahal's second album was recorded and released within months of his self-titled debut, THE NATCH'L BLUES moves away from that album's largely acoustic Delta blues leanings into a more electric and rock-influenced sound. \"Move away from\" hardly means \"forsake,\" however. Among the songs beefed up by organist Al Kooper and drummer Earl Palmer is the traditional folk standard \"The Cuckoo,\" which takes to rock-influenced instrumentation much better than one might think. Similarly, a moving rendition of William Bell's \"You Don't Miss Your Water\" reaffirms the Stax\/Volt pop song's blues roots. The best songs on THE NATCH'L BLUES, however, are the Taj Mahal originals that sound like old country blues standards, like the fearsome full-band rocker \"She Caught the Katy\" and the powerful solo opener \"Good Morning Miss Brown.\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eTracklist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eA1        Good Morning Miss Brown\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA2        Corinna\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA3        I Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Steal My Jellyroll\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA4        Going Up To The Country, Paint My Mailbox Blue\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA5        Done Changed My Way Of Living\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB1        She Caught The Katy And Left Me A Mule To Ride\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB2        The Cuckoo\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB3        You Don't Miss Your Water ('Til Your Well Runs Dry)\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB4        A Lot Of Love\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003e*Audio and\/or tracklist may vary slightly from the vinyl version.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eLabel: Columbia\u003cbr\u003e\r\nRel.
