One reviewer at Amazon.com said;

The truth is...to my ear... this album is an excellent demonstration of the interrelationship of Gospel, Blues and Jazz. And the performers! Simply the best available today. For those that are not familiar with some of them, you may find some new "friends." I was especially pleased to see that Angela Strehli was included.

And to my way of thinking this hits it on the head

Valentines Day Blues - Maria Muldaur

OK, blues fans, or should I say lovers? Yes that's right, the blues is about being in love. And sometimes being abused and misused by your lover, but that can be fun too. And fun to listen to as well.

I have been working the romantic angle in my other music blog. So I thought I would present some blues music that is romantic over here at SML.

This first romantic album, Maria Muldaur's Music for Lovers is not so much hard blues but more of a bluesy kind album that I think can set the mood for you and the person that you love. But if you would like to hear Mrs. Muldaur doing some down home blues music check her Leon Russell, Willie Nelson and Bonnie Raitt doing Trouble in Mind.

So fire up some candles, throw that rug in front of the fire place, pour a couple of glasses of wine, put on some good music and make it a moment worthy of a good blues song...
