Editorial Reviews

Maria's magical tribute to New Orleans.

Maria Muldaur’s musical style defies definition. Though she had a Top 10 Pop single with "Midnight At The Oasis," she’s always favored roots music like folk, country and the blues. In 1992, she recorded an album that paid tribute to the rich musical traditions of New Orleans. With help from friends such as Aaron Neville and Dr. John, she created one of the most compelling albums of her career, Louisiana Love Call, which Rolling Stone called a "fervent exercise in Crescent City soul" in its 4-star review.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!, July 12, 2002

Blues and New Orleans-style jazz just don't get much better than this. In Louisiana Love Call, Maria Muldaur pays homage to the rhythms and sounds that have made New Orleans one of the world's great centers of music. And what a tribute it is! Maria's voice, which has only improved with age, makes this album shine.

This CD is currently out of print because Black Top Records has gone out of business. This is unfortunate, because there isn't a single bad track on the album. Fortunately, you can still buy it used, though it is getting hard to come by. Maybe one of the major labels will pick up the rights to Louisiana Love Call and reissue it. One can only hope so - Maria Muldaur is one of the finest jazz and blues singers of our age, and this is one of her best albums. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars This music makes me proud to live in New Orleans!, June 10, 1999

I have Maria Muldaur's music from 1970 and her jug band days right up through her blues in 1999. This CD is one of the best.

Mr. Crosby seems to miss the fact that there is great beauty in Maria Muldaur's voice. It is both sultry and beautiful, and yes a little rough around the edges. Louisiana Love Call IS Louisiana and New Orleans - sultry, beautiful and VERY rough around the edges. She captures the feelings of the place very well.

Catch Maria live and you will see what I mean!

This review is from: Lousiana Love Call (Audio CD)

I had always put Maria's music right up there with the best, I'd

have to compare her to Bonnie Raitt as they both, in their early

years helped bring back a rootsy/folk/country blues that most

white teens and younger adults never got the chance to hear. While Bonnie has gone on to more rock/blues/pop success's(finally)and

Maria has kept to a different vision,(although Maria and Bonnie

have gone on to sing together, she just loves to tackle

styles (less commercial) and she does it better than anyone.

I got to see her several years back in a small jazz club in

Cambridge, Ma. and she IS one great entertainer. LLS is a great

CD from start to finish, I'd wished triple A radio had taken

this one in, just a stunner and one of the best in her long

distinquished career.
