“Taj Mahal” originally by the great songwriter Jorge Ben (and latercovered by Rod Stewart as “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy”) is the latest bit of source material from one of our favorite bands, Oakland’s Trails and Ways. The samba/bossa sounds of Jorge Ben’s tune fit the classic Brazilian pop-lean of Trails & Ways perfectly; with T&W’s while tightened/slightly more accessible to the indie 2013 palette arrangement still ably maintains the original song’s soul & heart (something it’s not at all short on).
