Most notable, however, may be \"You Don't Miss Your Water ('Til Your Well Runs Dry)\" and \"Ain't That a Lot of Love,\" which offer Taj Mahal working in the realm of soul and treading onto Otis Redding territory. This is particularly notable on \"You Don't Miss Your Water,\" which achieves the intensity of a gospel performance and comes complete with a Stax\/Volt-style horn arrangement by Jesse Ed Davis that sounds more like the real thing than the real thing. \"Ain't That a Lot of Love,\" by contrast, is driven by a hard electric guitar sound and a relentless bass part that sounds like a more urgent version of the bassline from the Spencer Davis Group's \"Gimme Some Lovin'.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood Morning Miss Brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorinna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Steal My Jellyroll\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoing up to the Country, Paint My Mailbox Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDone Changed My Way of Living\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShe Caught the Katy and Left Me a Mule to Ride\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Cuckoo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Don't Miss Your Water ('Til Your Well Runs Dry)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAin't That a Lot of Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Cuckoo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Stranger Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThings Are Gonna Work Out Fine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Taj Mahal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52815099592815,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/2723\/4159\/files\/Natchl-Blues-LP.jpg?v=1773689677","url":"https:\/\/shop.portmerch.com\/products\/the-natchl-blues-lp","provider":"Port Merchandise","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
