From the sweet to the salacious to the poignant, Maria Muldaur's eponymous,
strong debut features savvy studio vets, talented guests, strong tunes,
and Muldaur's lissome pipes. The outstanding players include Ry Cooder,
David Grisman, Clarence White, and Mac Rebennack, better known as Dr.
John. A tasteful guitar solo by the underrated Amos Garrett elevates the
charming surprise hit single "Midnight at the Oasis." Although
she later gravitated to jazz and gospel, Muldaur's first outing is heavy
on songs derived from country and blues. A rousing "Work Song,"
borrowed from Kate & Anna McGarrigle, is only one of several highlights.
