What Parents Need to Know
About Shake Sugaree: Taj Mahal Sings And Plays For Children
Parents need to know that '"Light Rain," a song about betting on the ponies, and "Shake Sugaree," with its chorus about pawning everything before going to heaven, are strange choices for a children's album. In general, Mahal's light, soulful tone makes up for these odd lyrics.
