Sweet Lovin' Ol' Soul
Maria Muldaur
Stony Plain
Muldaur has assembled a stellar cast of acoustic-blues-oriented musicians to help her on the follow-up to “Richmond Woman Blues.” As on that 2002 album, she features obscure old tunes by female blues artists, most of them written by Memphis Minnie. Special guests Del Rey and Steve James team up to recreate the double-guitar sound of Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe.
Other performers covered on “Sweet Lovin’ Ol’ Soul” – subtitled “Highway 61 Revisited” – include Bessie Smith; Lucille Bogan; Sara Martin; Butterbeans and Suzy; and Julia Lee. Other guest artists include Taj Mahal, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Tracy Nelson and Pinetop Perkins.
Muldaur’s voice has gotten deeper and stronger since the early ’70s, when she was all over the radio with the Top 10 “Midnight at the Oasis.” For the third and final album in this series, she’ll revisit territory covered by another of her old hits, Blue Lu Barker’s “Don’t You Feel My Leg.” The name of the disc, appropriately, is “Naughty, Bawdy and Blue.”
