After college, Mahal moved to Los Angeles and formed the group Rising Sons with Ry Cooder in 1964. The group signed with Columbia Records and released one single and recorded another album which was not released by Columbia until 1992. Taj, frustrated with the mixed reaction to his music quit the group and went solo. Still with Columbia, he released a well received, self titled album in 1968, and based on its success released a second album, Natch'l Blues that same year. Two very different records - Giant Step, with his electric band, and solo De Ole Folks at Home - were released in 1969 together as a double album. This firmly established Taj as an American blues original. The double album The Real Thing, captured him live at this time, with a horn section.
He has received two Grammy awards in the category "Best Contemporary Blues Album", the first in 1997 for Señor Blues, and again in 2000 for Shoutin' in Key. He has performed on various film soundtracks including Sounder and Blues Brothers 2000, in which he also appeared.

Taj Mahal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Roke Zamaanaa Chaahe Roke Khudaaii Tumako Aanaa Padegaa
Jo Vaadaa
Tarasatii nigaahon ne Aavaaz dii Hai
Muhabbat Kii Raahon ne Aavaaz dii Hai
Jaan-E-Hayaa, Jaan-E-Adaa Chhodo Tarasaanaa Tumako Aanaa Padegaa
Jo Vaadaa
Ye Maanaa Hamen Jaan Se Jaanaa Padegaa
Jo Vaadaa
Ham Apanii Vafaa Pe naa Ilazaam Lenge
Tumhen dil diyaa Hai Tumhe Jaan Bhii denge
Jab Ishq Kaa Saudaa Kiyaa Phir Kyaa Ghabaraanaa Tumako Aanaa Padegaa
Jo Vaadaa
Chamakate Hain Jab Tak Ye Chaand Aur Taare
na Tuutenge Ab Ehad-O-Paimaan Hamaare
Ik duusaraa Jab de Sadaa Hoke diivaanaa Hamako Aanaa Padegaa
Jo Vaadaa
Hamaarii Kahaanii Tumhaaraa Fasaanaa
Hameshaa Hameshaa Kahegaa Zamaanaa
Kaise Bhalaa Kaisii Sazaa dede Zamaanaa Hamako Aanaa Padegaa

Muhabbat Kii Rasamen nibhaate Rahenge
Jaan-E-Vafaa Tum do Sadaa Fir Kyaa Thikaanaa Hamako,
Aanaa Padegaa
