Maria Muldaur: Ronnie Scott's, London
Karl Dallas, Melody Maker, 26 July 1975
THE TROUBLE with Maria Muldaur is that she is so Goddamn talented it could make you sick. At Ronnie Scott's London, she was all the things they say about her and more: a sexy little bundle of energy with frizzy black hair, an orchid over one car and an impossible cleavage, who hops from song to song and from style to style like a sparrow looking for crumbs.
