Artist: Maria Muldaur

Miked - Live Reviews from Issue #70 July-August 2007

Maria Muldaur – Gaylord Opryland Resort (Nashville, TN)

The unusual pairing of Maria Muldaur and Tanya Tucker, a couple of aggressively un-demure singers who assaulted the top of the pop and country charts, respectively, in the early 1970s, was conjured up by the Red Hat Society — the national, even international “disorganization” of thousands of middle-aged, grandmotherly types who, bent on regaining “silliness’ [...]

Waxed - Record Review from Issue #70 July-August 2007

Maria Muldaur – Naughty, Bawdy & Blue

This isn’t so much a tribute album as a seance, with Muldaur…how to put this?… rubbing the magic ball and finding her future in the past. She’s been doing this, of course, ever since her debut with the Even Dozen Jug Band, whose odd distinction was to be a nostalgia act that was also ahead [...]

Waxed - Record Review from Issue #67 Jan-Feb 2007

Maria Muldaur – Heart Of Mine: Love Songs Of Bob Dylan

A student of Bob since both ran around Greenwich Village, Maria Muldaur sings Dylan well — not as the Voice of A Generation, but as the Smooth Operator Bob, the Male Sade, or the Romantic with the Pencil Thin Mustache, flowers on the hillside ‘n’ all. Muldaur takes the smooth jazz road, keeping it light [...]

Waxed - Record Review from Issue #59 Sept-Oct 2005

Maria Muldaur – Sweet Lovin’ Ol’ Soul

Charmingly subtitled Old Highway 61 Revisited, Maria Muldaur’s latest is billed as a follow-up to her Grammy-nominated 2001 release Richland Woman Blues, but stands on its own feet as a self-contained chapter in her decades-long survey of blues, roots and folk music. Richland Woman Blues was, the story goes, inspired by a visit Muldaur made [...]

Maria Muldaur – A Woman Alone With The Blues: Remembering Peggy Lee

Before she died in 2002 at age 81, Peggy Lee was known by millions for her hit records and for co-writing the songs for Disney’s Lady And The Tramp (and voicing “Lady”). She combined the wholesomeness of the South Dakota farm girl she was with a jazz musician’s unfettered hipness. She came to prominence singing [...]

This is the largest community music festival in the nation, with (last I checked) 800+ bands, 25+ stages, and so much music and dance that it's physically impossible to see even a small fraction of the things you […]
