Geoff & Maria Muldaur - Pottery Pie (1967)

Posted By: Designol

Date: 28 Jun 2024 09:03:15

One of just two albums to be released by the easier-going American equivalent of Richard & Linda Thompson (without the brooding gloom and biting irony), this set includes some virtuoso folk-blues performances, as well as the version of "Brazil" made famous in Terry Gilliam's movie of the same name. Though the ten tunes here are all covers, Geoff & Maria Muldaur treat each as if molded from clay of their own making, just as they had old traditional numbers as members of the Jim Kweskin Jug Band. It's probably no coincidence that this album would eventually find its way to Joe Boyd's Hannibal label. It's a collection that suggests the Richard & Linda Thompson albums he would release throughout the '70s. Although it's often difficult to find, many fans will find Pottery Pie more than worth the money and effort.

Review by Brian Beatty, Allmusic.com

Once upon a time there was a scruffy bunch from Cambridge, Massachusetts known as The Jim Kweskin Jug Band. As their name suggests, they were as much a novelty act as a serious folk group, although they were that, too. They featured a singer and guitarist named Geoff Muldaur. They went to New York to play at The Bottom Line, and in the audience was Maria D'Amato, who sang and played fiddle for another jug band, The Even Dozen. She and Geoff hit it off, and the next thing you know they were married.

"Pottery Pie" was their debut album as a duo, and it is hard to imagine a record like this being recorded today, if only because of the totally laid back vibe. The music is actually quite well-arranged, in a loose-limbed sort of way. There is even a raucous horn section that appears on "New Orleans Hop Scop Blues" and a few other tracks. The standout player on the session is Amos Garrett, he of the fluid Telecaster. His solo on "Georgia On My Mind" is a showstopper.

The music combines elements of folk, country, spirituals (check out Maria's a cappella turn on "Guide Me O Great Jehovah"), and New Orleans marching bands, and such gems as "Brazil" simply defy description.

PS: If you decide to fork out for this expensive Japanese version, then you might as well go ahead and pick up "Sweet Potatoes" also, which is simply more of the same–I mean that in the best possible way.

You may have heard "Brazil": It's on the soundtrack of Terry Gilliam's film of the same name.
