Blues Blast Magazine
She shares an intrinsic understanding of the music with the band members, so that their collective efforts revive these classics in all of their bawdy glory while adding exciting musical statements firmly rooted in the traditions. You can count on playing this one more than a few times…..

All About Jazz
I find the lighthearted playful expressions of sexuality in these songs a pleasant and welcome respite from the fraught discourse prevailing today…and for another...these are all basically hip, fun happy songs, and I think we could all use a big dose of HAPPY right about now

Off Beat
Many of the tunes, such as Blue Lu’s hilarious “Nix on Those Lush Heads,” presented on Don’t You Feel My Leg could be considered somewhat lost in time. Muldaur and company bring them back with much love and another reason to revisit the originals.
-
Making a Scene
This fun bluesy album is also New Orleans jazz. It is recorded with production values equal to or greater than anything else heard lately. Muldaur has done it again.

Paste Magazine
As these songs clearly show, Muldaur's repertoire goes beyond any one niche and cannot be categorized. Her innate ability to balance sweetness and strength within the blues, gospel, jazz or any style she chooses to tackle.

Robert Christgau
Always a nuanced singer, she got subtler, sassier, and smarter; her pipes remained supple and the burr in her voice never went to seed.

Ink 19
In my opinion, Maria’s best work has always been her bawdy material and her Gospel offerings. This puts this release among her best ever.

Living Blues
The cast of six horn men—two each on trumpet, clarinet/saxophone and trombone—in various combinations paint the proceedings with a deep blue feeling and generate a rollicking energy that often features that trademark polyphony the city’s horn players create.
-
Connect Savannah
It’s an upbeat and entertaining collection of songs that are, more often than not, humorous in nature.
