		Consequently, Maria sidesteps the easy trap of campiness -- which is as far from her style as the overt assault on a lyric of an R&B singer -- and substitutes an affection and affinity so deep that she creates an immutable link between past and present, the artist and her art.
		Muldaur's vocal iciness is integral to its effectiveness; if she merely sang it with abandon the shock would be too much to withstand.
		Like Ry Cooder, Maria Muldaur has found just the right balance between her commitment to the traditional material she favors and her ability to interpret it in a personal way.

	Maria Muldaur - Discography
		Muldaur was a bona fide pop star commanding a national audience from the huge success of her sultry 1974 hit "Midnight At the Oasis"---a fortuitous last choice add-on to her debut solo album, MARIA MULDAUR.
		Muldaur's 1996 album, Fanning the Flames (Telarc), was recorded deep in the bayou country of Louisiana and is steeped in the fervent blues traditions of the South.
		Maria's longtime soul sister, Bonnie Raitt, pays tribute to her slide guitar mentor Mississippi Fred McDowell on McDowell's "It's a Blessing", while John Sebastian, founder of the Lovin' Spoonful, and with Maria, an alumnus of the Even Dozen Jug Band, plays on one of Maria's most-frequently requested tunes, Mississippi John Hurt's Richland Woman Blues.

	JS Online: CD Review: Maria Muldaur
		Finally, after quite a few mixed efforts, Maria Muldaur is poised to reclaim her position as one of the roots world's important female voices.
		Muldaur, who made her bones in 1974 with "Midnight at the Oasis," exhibits reverence and evocative vocals throughout the album.
		Muldaur and band are especially vivacious (and swinging) on Leiber and Stoller's "Some Cats Know." Perhaps the biggest miscue is a duet with eccentric country-rocker Dan Hicks, but that's more because Muldaur's voice is vastly superior to his.

	Cosmik Debris Magazine Presents: Maria Muldaur, April 2003
		A year later, Maria Muldaur (then D'Amato) would make her first recording with the Even Dozen Jug Band, and this year she marks her fortieth anniversary as a recording artist with a new tribute to Peggy Lee, A Woman Alone With The Blues, on Telarc Records.
		A longtime Peggy Lee fan (Muldaur's signature song, "I'm A Woman" was the B-side of Lee's hit "Fever"), compiling a tribute album expanded her appreciation for the legendary performer.
		In paying tribute, Muldaur also faced the challenge of bringing her own distinctive talents to bear on the music of a performer known for a singular style.

	MARIA MULDAUR
		Muldaur had been singing blues her entire professional life, dating back to her stint in the Jim Kweskin Jug Band in the mid-'60s, but there was something about suddenly finding herself in the famed “cradle of the blues” that was profoundly moving for her.
		Muldaur came away from her week in the South determined to record her own down-home tribute to the long-gone masters of the blues who had led her on her career path.
		Muldaur and Jacob tracked so many songs for the project that a second disc is already partially done, and, once again, the singer is finding more than enough willing collaborators for this ongoing labor of love.

		Maria Muldaur was born Maria D'Amato on September 12, 1943, in New York.
		Muldaur's next album, 1974's Waitress in a Donut Shop, featured a hit remake of her Even Dozen-era signature tune "I'm a Woman." Three more Reprise albums followed over the course of the '70s, generally with the cream of the L.A. session crop, but also with increasingly diminishing results.
		Around 1980, Muldaur became a born-again Christian; she recorded a live album of traditional gospel songs, Gospel Nights, for the smaller Takoma label in 1980, and moved into full-fledged CCM with 1982's There Is a Love, recorded for the Christian label Myrrh.

		Muldaur has nearly always included what is now called "roots music," including Appalachian and classic blues, on her records, and they have generally been highlights of those records.
		Maria is one of our generation's finest interpreters of this kind of material, and the album is among the best of her career.

		Maria Muldaur's musical career has been characterized by her ability to explore a wide variety of musical styles, starting with her beginnings in jug band/folk music to her explorations of pop, blues, jazz and country.

		Muldaur should be much more well-known amongst the general public than she is but like any artist who has been pegged by a bit radio hit, such as Melanie with "Brand New Key" and Janis Ian with "At Seventeen", Muldaur is best remembered for "Midnight At the Oasis".
		The songs were specially picked by Maria after immersing herself in Peggy Lee's music and it was difficult for her to choose a limited number of great songs made famous by Peggy Lee but her selections have proven to be the best for her own renditions.
		Muldaur reveals herself to be a true fan and disciple, yet never subverts her own personality in the process.

	Maria Muldaur: Love Wants to Dance - PopMatters Music Review
		Without busting a lung over it, Muldaur's a big-voiced woman without many inhibitions: she calls (or whispers) (or moans) them as she sees them and, as of now, she simply hasn't come.
		But Muldaur's Delta stylings have an oomph that most of Lee's contemporaries didn't; while the songs don't have as much wordplay as Arlen/Harburg, they do a better job of getting by on the character of Muldaur's voice.
		And, when, in the middle of the album, Muldaur talks up the beauty of the moonlight and then suggests you meet her there, you're not likely to turn her down.
