Taj Mahal – Scratch My Back

“Chicken in the barnyard. Scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch!” Dancing shoes only, please. Funk galore, picture Taj dropping his deep folk roots into the lap of James Brown and you have Scratch My Back with a touch of Funky Penguin. Ouch! Reach those notes! “I’m itching, and I don’t know where to scratch. This album has a healthy share of must-have shoutouts. The regaae flavored Black Man, Brown Man, and the happy version of the oldie Diddy Wah Diddy are a good place to start. Fun party album. Taj Mahal
