Women in blues
Saffire, the Uppity Blues Women, has gone from virtual obscurity to become one of the most popular acoustic blues groups in the world in the span of just six short years and five albums. The group's singing and playing, and unique brand of sassy, witty and fiercely independent music is full of spirit and soul.
The incomparable Maria Muldaur has always traversed a wide expanse of American music--in 2003, she recorded A Woman Alone with the Blues, a tribute to jazz icon Peggy Lee--and so perhaps it shouldn't come as a surprise that she has now applied her interpretive gifts to the love songs of Bob Dylan.
