	A textbook example of Taj Mahal�s multi-genre musical mastery, the laid-back �Cruisin�� has a slight ska feel and a jazzy muted trumpet solo to spice up its arrangement, which is fairly slick by Mahal�s standards. But like most Taj tracks, it�s still 100 percent blues, driven by his throaty, soul-drenched vocals and delivered with the kind of unaffected ease that only the greats can muster. The intimate live setting is a bonus, giving an already immediate track an even larger dose of urgency. Highly recommended.
