Maria Muldaur's latest album for Stony Plain Records, Naughty, Bawdy & Blue, is a unique concept that goes well-beyond a regular "tribute" CD. It's the combination of her talent, knowledge of the music and utilization of musicians who've played with some of the artists saluted on this CD that enables her to re-create the sound, passion and presentation of these songs. In fact, it's fair to say that Maria is probably the only present-day singer who could pull off an album like this with the kind of authenticity that surpasses any others. That's because for over 40 years as a performer, she's literally lived the life of someone steeped in the American roots music songbook, whether it's blues, jazz, gospel, folk, country or rhythm & blues. She's the real deal, a true natural resource without any artificial affectations or jive.
For Maria Muldaur, the inspiration to sing and perform literally arrived in her own backyard. Born and raised in the Greenwich Village section of New York City, Maria was at the epicenter of the burgeoning folk and roots music boom that happened in the early '60s, with Greenwich Village as its hub. The pull of this exciting new music was strong, drawing singers, songwriters and musicians such as a young Bob Dylan from all across the USA to "The Village" to be a part of that scene. |
