Customer Reviews:

One of My Top Favorite Albums of All Time...!!!.......2006-06-07

Maria Muldaur is sweet, sexy, fun, passionate, original and fresh in "Waitress in Donut Shop," which hands-down is my favorite album of hers. I used to play this album on my turntable every morning to get ready for work. Yep, it was that good it got me going every morning day after day for months!

Some very fine cuts.......2004-12-26

Not her best, but a good mix of pop, blues and jazz. See "Richland Woman Blues" album for gutsier, more... overall interesting Muldaur cuts. The treatment here of "Brickyard Blues" (w what seems to be Dr. John's identifiable piano in back) is great, though - brassy and funky at the same time. There's a fine version of "It Ain't the Meat It's the Motion," and the best "Travelin' Shoes" delivery I can recall hearing. I did deduct a star for a couple of clunkers that edge so far away from her best, earthy work they sound intended for elevators and supermarkets right out of the box. But her time with the Jim Kweskin Jug Band does season the music in a lot of places, which, as always, makes her great fun to listen to.

THIS, is music.......2004-10-22

I recently put my vinyl onto a CD, and had a chance to revisit this be-UUU-tiful work. I agree with another reviewer that "Sweetheart" alone is worth the price of admission. If you like a combination of jazz, blues, pop ... heck, no labels necessary. In the words of her own song (from another album: "Label it garbage/Label it art/You can't call it soul/You'll have to call it heart". So if you love serious good music, get this album.

Hooked On Maria.......2003-05-13

This is the album--yes the album --I bought in 1974 that absolutely hooked me on the music of Maria. It was 22 years before I got to see her live--but it was worth the wait.

Waitress in The Donut Shop.......2002-01-26

As good as I remembered it-- and what a guest roster! The title track Sweetheart is mesmorizing and smooth. But my favorite soon became Gringo en Mexico, with a beautiful haunting melody and accompanyment and a real showcase for Muldaur's sultry voice. The whole cd has a very forties jazz feel to it, but there are some favorites that have been made hits by contemporary musicians. She does a great job with Allen Toussant's Brickyard Blues, and adds some grit to her selections with It ain't the Meat it's the Motion. Guests include Kate & Anna McGarrigle, Linda Ronstadt, Paul Butterfield, Mac Rebenack (Dr. John), and more. This CD certainly stands the test of time--and suits the mood of any season. Whether you are curling up with it on a winter afternoon, or feeling the warm summer breezes, you can listen to these tunes over and over and discover more nuances.
