COMPILATION

Issued by the Rhino label in 2006, this well-selected Taj Mahal collection draws from the lauded blues singer/guitarist's 1980s and '90s children-oriented recordings. Highlights of this charming, kid-friendly anthology include a soulful take on "Willie and the Hand Jive," a mesmerizingly mellow version of "Follow the Drinking Gourd," and a beautiful acoustic rendition of "Little Brown Dog."
