I reckon that I've now been listening to Maria Muldaur, born on this date in 1943, for over forty years, even before her solo debut in '73. She's had quite a career, working with all sorts of people, and while she's obviously a performer, she's also something of a musicologist, digging deep into attic for classic blues and jazz. The best album she's done lately is, I think, Heart of Mine, a collection of Dylan love songs. When we saw her not long ago, she was doing most music from Maria Muldaur & Her Garden of Joy, very lively and jug-bandy.
As you'll see, she is not behind the door when it comes to putting together a good band:
This is this first of a series. The rest are all on YouTube. (Debaters take note: she went to Hunter.)
And why not dip back to one of her biggest hits?
I'll see you in the audience the next time she hits the East Coast.
