Maria Muldaur & Tuba Skinny: Let's Get Happy Toget
) | Label: Stony Plain Catalog: SPCD1429 Format: CD Maria Muldaur & Tuba SkinnyWhen Maria Muldaur discovered the music of Tuba Skinny, she learned that these musicians study, play and immerse themselves in the early blues, jazz and jug band music of the 20's and 30's just as she did. As Maria listened to their albums, she concluded that they not only played a wonderful repertoire of cool songs with great skill and authenticity, but somehow channeled the atmosphere and vibration of that bygone era. Just before the Covid pandemic in January 2020, Maria Tuba asked Skinny to collaborate on a showcase performance at the International Folk Alliance conference in New Orleans. It was so well received that an album was immediately conceived and recorded that year. The title track summed it all up: Let's Get Happy Together. Tuba Skinny and Maria Muldaur performed 12 songs as close to the original recordings as possible, breathing life into rarely heard gems from that incredible era. Maria Muldaur's 55+ year career has been a long and adventurous odyssey through the forms of American roots music: blues, jug band, bluegrass, jazz and Appalachian old timey music.  Price: $19.98 |
