A Little Bit Of Joy

Just wanted to share one little thing that's been giving me a lot of joy lately. It's a song by Taj Mahal called "West Indian Revelation," that just absolutely rocks with a hot Carribbean vibe (steel drum and all!). And when he sings "shake it shake it shake it shake it shake it shake it let your backbone slip," it just pulls me over the top. "Shake it shake it take it take it baby take a pull of rum again": I'm back in the islands.

Mm-mm. Good song.

Check www.allmusic.com. Look up Taj Mahal (he's a guy, not a band -- no idea where he got the name) and click on discogarphy, and then compilations. Click on his box set, "In Progress and Motion" -- West Indian Revelation is one of the tracks on it (not sure where it's from originally offhand). There's a music sample there -- and for pretty much all of the tracks.

Registration is required, but it's free.

Enjoy! (And shake it shake it shake it)

For those of you using Apple's iTunes, here's a direct link (it will launch iTunes) to the song where you can hear a sample:
