Maria Muldaur - Sweet Lovin' Ol' Soul CD


Our Price: $14.89 For Sale Usually ships in 1-2 days

This superior release finds Maria Muldaur returning to her roots and paying special tribute to Memphis Minnie. Assisted by such notables as singer-guitarist Taj Mahal and guitarist Del Rey, Muldaur really excels on the vintage material and in this acoustic setting. Rather than sounding like a revivalist, her sensitive and witty vocals show a real understanding for the music and make her sound like a veteran of the era even though she is about 50 years too young! For listeners who might find it difficult to get into early blues due to the primitive recording quality, Maria Muldaur's Sweet Lovin' Ol' Soul will serve as the perfect transition. This is one of her finest recordings overall. ~ Scott Yanow

Liner Note Author: Maria Muldaur.

Dirty Linen (p.90) - "Muldaur's voice has gained in expressiveness what it may have lost in range, and she has revived a fine selection of timeless songs for this project..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.108) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[She] swoops and growls through a set of songs associated with Memphis Minnie, Bessie Smith and other blues heroines....[The] period styles are recreated with scrupulous care..."

Sweet Lovin' Ol' Soul Music Review

Average Rating: (4.7 out of 5 stars) 4.5 stars

4 stars Classic Blues, Classic Muldaur
This release is called the last of Maria's tribute performances to Blues Masters that have inspired her through the years. It is certainly masterful and makes for a very enjoyable listen.

5 stars Six stars if possible.
Is there any guy who never fall in love with her during her musical career? From crispy roots through the perfect swing to the roughest blues we can imagine - she´s always so sexy, always so sensible! Maria, one more album tributed to Duke Ellington for me and then I can die!

5 stars Blues Mama Maria satisfies...
A successful follow up to RICHLAND WOMAN BLUES and Miss Maria is at her soulful & sexy best. Not much hype out there on this release, but a marvelous piece of work to add to her impressive list of recordings. Dig this while we wait for her next opus of tunes by the "vaudeville" blues ladies, with a trad jazz band!
