Maria Muldaur - Maria Muldaur (1973)

An underappreciated beauty from the early '70s. The hit from it, 'Midnight at the Oasis', was one of the tunes that was constantly playing in my head... at least for while.

Muldaur, a sassy-voiced singer with a natural feel for everything from country and pop to folk and bluegrass, not only performs flawlessly on every song here, but also manages to convey an unusual mixture of grace and grit. She gets splendid support from such ace musicians as Mac Rebennack (Dr. John), Spooner Oldham, Dave Holland, Ray Brown, Jim Keltner and Jim Dickinson.
