Marvellous, faultless, sublime… Once again Maria deals with twenties classic blues singers ‘vaudeville’ repertoire, with an amazing songs selection and the incomparable treatment she gives to all tracks included on the cd Gifted with a warm given up voice together with a powerful feeling, Maria Muldaur cleverly performs different songs of Victoria Spivey, Ethel Waters, Sara Martin, Alberta Hunter, Mamie Smith, Sippie Wallace or Ma Rainey Besides a clever talented singer with a first class enviable voice, Mudaur has become a real icon one should be grateful with, for the devoted work she has done during the last years to keep and spread the legacy of the great historical ‘classic blues’ queens Maria Muldaur really transmits the spirit of the most genuine original deeply rooted blues tradition of the beginning of last century and she does it with a special sensibility that makes her become unique on that musical style To round off the whole recording you will find The James Dapogny’s Chicago Jazz Band as supporting team, who often backed great Sippie Wallace too It is a big privilege to enjoy this excellent cd
