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’ [...]

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 [...]
