The Peggy Lee Band
Editorial Reviews
Album Description
Brad Turner, trumpet, flugelhorn; Jeremy Berkman, trombone; Peggy Lee, cello; Tony Wilson, electric guitar; Chris Tarry, electric bass; Dylan van der Schyff, drums, drum machine, electronics. Exquisite! Peggy Lee delivers a series of finely crafted compositions of rich and sonorous beauty, played by a crew of musicians blessed with unusual depth and empathy. Perhaps more than the uncanny musicianship of all involved is the way Lee and company traverse the area between inside and outside. A paragon of beauty and adventure. A big hit at this years Victoriaville festival.

From her beginnings in the sixties folk music scene in Boston, Maria Muldaur has continued to explore a range of American musics, first with the Jim Kweskin Jug Band, followed by a pair of albums with then-husband Geoff Muldaur. The '70s brought her commercial success with the release of her debut solo album and the single "Midnight at the Oasis." The '80s found her recording sets devoted to jazz, gospel, and swing, while the '90s albums celebrated her love of New Orleans and blues. A Woman Alone With the Blues is devoted to 12 songs associated with Peggy Lee. From the slow burn of "Fever" to the swinging "Everything Is Moving Too Fast," this is a well-paced set with Muldaur backed by a supple eight-piece combo. Dan Hicks guests on "Winter Weather," trading verses with Muldaur over a snappy big band arrangement. Lee's career drew from a sufficiently diverse and uniformly potent range of songwriters (Ellington, Arlen, Berlin, Leiber & Stoller, etc.) and this album is likewise rich in its breadth. --David Greenberger

One of Muldaur's Best.......2007-03-31
For some reason I could never stand Peggy Lee; can't quite put my finger on it but perhaps it was something about her voice that irritated me. For that reason I was a little reluctant to get this album. My doubts were gone right from the first song. Muldaur's treatment of these songs is superb and this is one of her best albums. I could be considered a bit biased. I now have 17 Muldaur albums and not a bad one in the lot; all 4 and 5 star-rated albums. One thing I have noticed too is the quality band work that backs up Muldaur on most of her albums, including this one. Buy ANY Muldaur blues album for a real treat.

A Woman Alone With the Blues
Maria Muldaur
Telarc Records CD-83568
Faced with memorial albums, such as this tribute to Peggy Lee, the critic often has trouble deciding whether to review the original artist or the one performing the covers. This is not a problem when dealing with Maria Muldaur, whose own take on torch songs is absolutely opaque to the influences of others. Even when the others are the original recording artists. Even when the other is Peggy Lee. It is true that Ms. Muldaur has never had another "Midnight at the Oasis," and that it seems difficult to keep her off of bad albums, but her own best efforts, those over which she exercises artistic control, remain the hottest burning torch songs available.
There is a late 40s-early 50s eroticism here, an old-style, sultry ambience that makes clothing sexy; that turns a clarinet line into foreplay. Instrumentation, while we're on that subject, includes guitar, piano, alto and tenor sax, clarinet, flute, trumpet, trombone, bass trombone, bass, drums and vibes. Control is a large part of this release, too. There are solos, but no excesses. Lyrics are pared to avoid repetition, and the music behind them swoops up or down appropriately with the precision and grace of a bird of prey.
Due to a circle of friends, neighbors and peers that, over the years, has ranged from Kitty Wells to Rev. Gary Davis to Bob Dylan, Maria Muldaur has been through a number of musical phases over the years, some more interesting and exciting than others, and one never knows quite what to expect from her new CDs. Thus, when something as spectacularly good as A Woman Alone With the Blues comes out, it comes with an extra kick for the buyer, something akin to doing well at the racetrack and feeling the dual exhilarations of winning and of obtaining a large sum of money.
Maria Muldaur: A Superb Blues Singer.......2005-05-15
I absolutely love this album by Maria Muldaur. It may be a homage to the late Peggy Lee but Muldaur makes the songs her own. She has experimented with many genres in the past and has been successful in all that she has chosen. Muldaur should be much more well-known amongst the general public than she is but like any artist who has been pegged by a bit radio hit, such as Melanie with "Brand New Key" and Janis Ian with "At Seventeen", Muldaur is best remembered for "Midnight At the Oasis". All three artists have continued to record and have moved into different types of music. Muldaur is a true artist and this album is evidence of that.I cannot recommend it highly enough. I am certain that Peggy Lee herself would have liked it very much. The songs were specially picked by Maria after immersing herself in Peggy Lee's music and it was difficult for her to choose a limited number of great songs made famous by Peggy Lee but her selections have proven to be the best for her own renditions. It is a very fine Blues album and I have no hesitatiion in giving it five stars. It it the type of album that is not suitable for background music--it is captivating and one is drawn into really listen. That, to me, is the sign of a great album.
Better Late Than Never.......2003-10-23
Based on her last two releases, Maria Muldaur has become one of my favorite singers. Her rendition of "Some Cats Know", on the Peggy Lee tribute, should be enough to convince you that she belongs in the ranks of the greats. But there is so much more to enjoy. "I Don't Know Enough About You" ,"Everything Is Moving Too Fast", "Black Coffee"...all are handled with class and sass! Now I need to start catching up on all the stuff I missed over the years. I'm looking forward to it.
Smokey Joe's.......2003-06-14
This is my 14th album by Maria Muldaur; and she keeps getting better, creating a diverse body of work. With her exquisite last CD remembering blues greats like Memphis Minnie on "Richland Woman Blues" and this set remembering Peggy Lee, she's becoming an interpretive musical historian of significance like the late John Hartford. With 21st century technical support, this set could be a blast from the 1930's - 1940's jazz era. Maria reinvents the music through her personality and makes it come alive. Among the many highlights on the CD is Peggy Lee's signature song "Fever" which burns and aches with libidinous longing. Dan Hicks duets on the swinging "Winter Weather" with the horns and brass pulsing to perfection. The two tracks that have me reaching for "repeat" come smack dab in the middle of the CD: Peggy Lee's penned "Everything Is Moving Too Fast" is a loose jazz & jive that'll set your toe to tapping while "Waitin' for the Train to Come In" highlights Maria's coos and sighs through a lovely melody. "Freedom Train," "Black Coffee" and the title track are also great highlights among an exquisitely strong set. This set will let you turn back the clock, imagine an earlier easier time when melodies were strong, Peggy Lee was one of her era's strongest vocalists, and somehow we are transported by Maria's magnificent performance to see that the music sounds as wonderful today as it did when it was first written. Enjoy!

Peggy steps out of the shadows.......2004-01-10
Peggy first made an impact as a singer with Benny Goodman's band (where she replaced the excellent but largely forgotten Helen Forrest) before committing herself to a solo career. This collection covers Peggy's early solo recordings from 1945 to 1950 and it shows that Peggy was a brilliant ballad singer but that she could also swing to good effect - there are some fantastic up-tempo songs here. As with all collections titled Capitol collectors series, this comes with copious liner notes including recording dates and American chart information.
Then, as in any era, the biggest hits are not always the songs that stand the test of time best. The only number one hit here is Manana, an upbeat, fun song of a type that was popular in those days but is generally dismissed now as a novelty song. Caramba it's the Samba (a top twenty hit) is another song of a similar type. In their way, they are great songs that I really enjoy, but I can understand why a lot of people don't like them. If necessary, you can skip them - there are 25 songs here in total and most of them are classy songs from the finest songwriters available.
Apart from Manana, the biggest hits here are Golden earrings (a ballad typical of Peggy) and Ghost riders in the sky (a western song that is not typical of Peggy, but which she does brilliantly). Both of those peaked at number two. Waiting for the train to come in, I don't know enough about you, It's all over now, Chi-baba and The old master painter (a duet with Mel Torme) all made the top ten and every one is a masterpiece. Some of Peggy's finest songs of the period didn't make the top ten. I particularly like I'll dance at your wedding, It's a good day and Don't smoke in bed.
There is a bewildering selection of compilations of Peggy's music, some covering particular periods and others spanning her whole career. Despite that, there aren't many that confine themselves to her early years. If you just want a single CD of Peggy's forties music, this is the one to buy. It has all her big hits from the period.
Refreshing, Poppy, and Crystal Clear.......2001-12-28
It's hard to "sing like Peggy Lee", and hard to find a better album to exemplify such an understated style and phrasing, yet with such vocal punch. Detractors from Miss Lee's work often cite vocal greatness to be found in the form of the "shrieker" such as Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, and Maria Muldaur, dated and tired examples of excessively loud, out of control, have to belt and trill or they can't sing it artists. What she doesn't say is as important as what she does. Peggy shows that she knew how to make great music before the Tramp came along.
A triumph of beauty over talent.......2001-04-18
This carefully selected Capitol compilation brings the first chapter of Peggy Lee's long career (her earlier work with Benny Goodman can be percieved as a preface),her first succes as a solo singer.Although her fans would find this compilation exciting,it has more points from a historic perspective than as a real music gem - novelty songs as "Caramba!Its the Samba!" are VERY dated today althought they must have sound cute then - and its interesting to hear how her style eventually grow with these songs.Lee had a easy-listening purr,a whisper that was appealing to a mass audience and her popularity can be explained as result of uninvolving humming,nice music background that did not offend anybody.I still haven't found anything that she recorded really breathtaking and I always found her overrated - so many listeners are awed by her glamour,clothes,style and looks that for them that's enough.Any suggestions of some above average listening from Lee would be welcome,as I haven't discovered it yet.

The Only One.......2006-08-21
If you're truly interested in a one-volume collection representing Peggy's best, this still-affordable British import is the only one that includes "The Shining Sea," the Johnny Mandell-Peggy Lee collaboration that, in my judgment, is Peggy's most shining moment. It's also available on the scarcer, high-priced "Blues Cross Country." Don't be deceived by Peggy's reprise of the song on the 1990 "Peggy Lee Songbook," recorded 25 years later and markedly inferior to the original version.
