Maria Muldaur - Maria Muldaur - 1973 - Reprise
Bestknown for her seductive '70s pop staple "Midnight at the Oasis," Maria Muldaur has since become an acclaimed interpreter of just about every stripe of American roots music: blues, early jazz, gospel, folk, country, RB, etc. While these influences were certainly present on her more poporiented '70s recordings (as befitting her Greenwich Village folkie past), Muldaur truly came into her own as a true rootsmusic stylist during the '90s, when she developed a particular fascination with the myriad sounds of Louisiana. On the string of wellreceived albums that followed, Muldaur tied her eclecticism together with the romantic sensuality that had underpinned much of her best work ever since the beginning of her career.
