Following on from the previous album, which was themed around Louisiana music and featured a lustrous singing voice, this 1994 black top album is filled with the heat and sensuality of a midsummer night in the southern United States.
Maria Muldaur, the singer who continues to convey the charm of American roots music such as blues, jazz, and folk, has released the album she recorded for Black Top, the most important label for newly recorded blues in the 1990s, on LP for the first time in the world!
Produced by John Porter (Buddy Guy, BB King, etc.), Tracy Nelson, Bill Payne and Shawn Murphy of Little Feat, Don Bryant and Ann Peebles, and others participated. Dan Penn is listed as a writer, and this monumental album features a horn section and a Southern Soul-flavored song, including "Sweet Simple Love," which is a very Memphis, high-sounding song. The title track, which is strongly voodoo and swamp-like and written by her long-time guitarist Rick Vito, is also wonderful. Along with her previous album, this is an important work that is indispensable when talking about her career.
