Dedicated to the late Charles Brown, Maria Muldaur's Meet Me Where They Play the Blues smokes and sizzles. A tightly packed collection of 12 songs on slow burn, the CD begins with the sensual "Soothe Me," highlighting the smooth-as-silk quality of Muldaur's voice. Other highlights include a duet with Brown on the classic "Gee Baby, Ain't I Good to You," a naturally sassy take on "It Ain't the Meat, It's the Motion," an affectionate tribute to both Brown and the late Johnny Adams with "He Don't Have the Blues Anymore," and a rousing conclusion (complete with gospel-style backup singers) with "The Promised Land." ~ Amazon
