Brothers (soundtrack)
1977 soundtrack album by Taj Mahal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brothers is an album by American blues singer-songwriter and instrumentalist Taj Mahal. It was recorded in August 1976 at Conway Recording Studios in Hollywood and released the following year by Warner Bros. Records.[3] It is the soundtrack to the 1977 film Brothers, with songs that music critic Richie Unterberger described as being "in the mode that Mahal was usually immersed in during the mid-1970s: bluesy, low-key tunes with a lot of Caribbean influence, particularly in the steel drums."[1]
