But, I can't think of Taj without thinking of him in Sounder. He basically played himself, but was a memorable role.
I was a little surprised at Ry's choice of guitar. Much more modern in shape and blingy paint job than I would have guessed he'd choose.

Taj's version is much more traditional blues, but there's no beating the soaring brilliance of the Brothers!
