SEVEN-time GRAMMY nominee Maria Muldaur presents an eclectic blues anthology in loving recognition of her mentor, Classic Blues Queen Victoria Spivey. Best known world-wide for her 1973 pop mega-hit "Midnight at the Oasis, " which received 2 GRAMMY nominations, Muldaur's 62 year career could best be described as a long and adventurous odyssey through the various forms of American Roots Music. In Sept. 2019, The Americana Music Association awarded her "The Lifetime Achievement Americana Trailblazer Award" for her lifelong work of covering the depth and breadth of American Roots music. Elvin Bishop ("What Makes You Act Like That") and Taj Mahal ("Gotta Have What It Takes"). Tuba Skinny plays on two of the tracks ("Organ Grinder Blues" and "Funny Feathers"). Maria has recorded 43 solo albums covering all kinds of American Roots Music. In recent years, often joining forces with some of the top names in the business, she has recorded and produced at least a dozen Blues albums, garnering 4 GRAMMY nominations and various Blues awards. Of this "bucket list" project honoring her mentor, Victoria Spivey, Muldaur says: "A few years ago someone sent this review of my performance at the '64 Newport Folk Festival. It just blew my mind, as I never knew till that moment that she had written it! It was like she reached down from Blues Heaven to bestow her approval and encouragement once again to this blues disciple!" "Never judge a book from it's cover and when a person is meek and humble don't judge them unless you know what you're doing. Some months ago I met a little girl of this type. She never had much to say. She was with a certain revival jug band at that time. I studied her voice, her looks and her personality very well. I can tell you that I found nothing but success for this little lady. I called her aside and told her to go for herself and to find a spot in which she could show off her talents instead of being in the background." - Victoria Spivey, after viewing Maria Muldaur's first appearance at the 1964 Newport Folk Festival with the Kweskin Jug Band
