Maria Muldaur – One Hour Mama: The Blues Of Victoria Spivey

Description

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. 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!”
