Time the album’s title track is a never-before-heard Bill Withers composition, originally recorded only as an unreleased demo and nearly lost to history before it was recorded by Taj Mahal. Close friend and music industry executive, and producer, Steve Berkowitz, with the blessing of both Bill and Marcia Withers, brought the song to Taj and the band.

Taj spoke exclusively to Variety, who reported, “Mahal only met Withers on a couple of occasions — their wives had gone to Claremont College together, which offered a bit of a connection — and he came away from those even more of an admirer,” and on his career added, “nothing could beat the twin ways in which the Recording Academy acknowledged him in 2025, when he won both a lifetime achievement Grammy and an actual competitive Grammy (for best traditional blues album for a record he made with Keb Mo), showing that it is possible to get your seemingly career-capping flowers and still be acknowledged as active and currently creative at the same time.” Read more at Variety HERE.
