TBH I don't think his harpin' skills are quiet up to par but it's always cool to have a blues man on popular TV

Its at the end so you should probably skip to the last commercial break

That was great! I ain't gonna say nuthin about the harpin or anything else--that was THE TAJ and THE BONNIE!!

Bad Mojo to say bad shit about these Gods of Blues--could bring down the wrath of the cosmic icepick!!

I stayed up to watch the performance. Taj is one of my all time fav's and I listen to his original recording AT LEAST 3 times a day. I enjoyed him on TV but like the original better.

I liked his version of "Don't call us we'll call you". He did a great job with that song.

His recordings seem to usually have pretty awesome harmonica (I have his version of checking up on my baby and it has an awesome harp solo)... Don't get me wrong; I think Taj is great, I just wasn't ecstatic about his harpin'
