Short story:
Taj Mahal spends the first of two days recording Corinna in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, USA, for Columbia Records.

Taj Mahal : That's a real different arrangement of the song. I think there was an influence from Dylan's version in terms of where it came down at. I was listening to the old Rising Sons tape. The big missing link out of the whole thing is the Rising Sons album, which was before all this stuff started and if everybody heard that you could hear the beginning of the direction that things were going to go in. The way we did it originally was more like doo-wop rock.
I wanted to have a real country feel to it but kind of different rhythmically. I always had that offbeat rhythm thing … I didn't recognise til later on that it had a lot to do with the Caribbean side of the music. It was coming through by itself without me noticing it. I just worked with it til I got a feeling for it and then recorded it.
There's a real interesting change in the bass notes there that Jesse Davis added. I had a pretty traditional set of bass notes and he said, 'Listen, why don't you try this?' There was kind of a funny, different kind of change that we had there.
