Taylor Rowley returns for a long-overdue album feature: singer Maria Muldaur’s 1973 self-titled solo debut. Recorded at a transitional point in her career, the album was a surprise hit due to its lead single “Midnight at the Oasis,” but a deep dive proves it an enjoyable and varied listen from beginning to end.   If you like us, please support us at patreon.com/idbuythatpodcast to get exclusive content (episodes on 45s!), or tell a friend about us.

We kickoff season 7 with a 2010 release from accomplished yet unconventional American musician Baby Dee.
