...While it doesn't evoke the almost creepy atmospherics of those examples, "Crossing Muddy Waters" may be the most clear-eyed articulation to date of Hiatt's sense of reckoning. True to the wordplay of the title, the album is a bluesy, almost all-acoustic affair - like something Taj Mahal might have made if he had a more melancholy streak - that ponders various crises: the narrator's desertion by his wife, so distraught that she leaves her daughter behind, in the title track; the weary resignation of a couple at the end of their rope in "What...
...Mahal/"Taj Mahal" Before he became a master archivist of multicultural roots music, Taj Mahal started right at home in the roadhouse with his 1967 debut, recently reissued by Columbia. A straight-ahead, unadorned production precludes any embarrassingly groovy anachronisms and lets the band get down to business, namely about 30 minutes of some of the best rocking blues ever committed to vinyl.

...formidable obstacle to home decorating, the masters have risen to the occasion. "The architecture challenges us to make it human and warm," explains Sandra Naddaff, Mather House master for seven years. Colorful furniture, like a pair of camel-back blue couches and a massive painting of the Taj Mahal at sunset by a Harvard grad, as well as other artwork courtesy of the Fogg, gives the gargantuan rooms a classical character. In addition to seven-and-a-half baths, and four large bedrooms, an atrium connecting the dining room to the living room houses large trees and exotic plants. Although...
