Naughty, Bawdy and Blue by Maria Muldaur

I got "Naughty, Bawdy and Blue" by Maria Muldaur today. New release in May. Good blues album. Bonnie Raitt joined with vocal on track 3, "Separation Blues". Raitt said "How great to hear these classic blues again, done up right by one of my favorite singers and the incredible James Dapogny's Chicago Jazz Band. I loved joining in on Sippie Wallaces's Separation Blues".

Pics are album jacket. Signiture of Muldaur, she has her own liner of 4 pages. Muldaur in around 1960, from Bob Dylan's "No Direction Home".

PS: I met Muldaur in early 1990 in Jazz Club in Hong Kong, very small club with only around 50 seats.

I posted Maria Muldaur's "Heart of Mine: Love Songs of Bob Dylan" here.

Heart of Mine: Love Songs of Bob Dylan

Maria Muldaur was born and raised in Greenwich Village. She appeared in my favorite book about Dylan "Down the Highway: The Life of Bob Dylan". I didn't know exactly about where thier ways came across. But I know now. We can also see her in Dylan's "No Direction Home". She wrote in liner notes of her new album "Heart of Mine: Love Songs of Bob Dylan", "Bob's song were different. Very Different. With great poetic skill and prophetic vision he brought a deep, fervent, compassionate, and amazingly perceptive overview to the many social issues he addresses". She fell in love with a song called "Moonlight" in Bob's "Love and Theft" and she wanted to record it. It takes some time for recording but finally it released. There are hundreds of covers of Dylan's songs recorded by various musicians like Byrds, PPM long time ago. I am surprised again that Dylan's songs are so beautiful when somebody else sings them. People may easily misunderstand Dylan's songs due to his throaty voice, but I believe his love songs themselves are so lovely and have eternity.
