Itjust blew my mind, as I never knew till that moment that she had written it! It was like shereached down from Blues Heaven to bestow her approval and encouragement once again to thisblues disciple!" "Never judge a book from its cover and when a person is meek and humble don't judge them unless you know what you're doing. Some months ago I met a little girl of this type. She never had much to say. She was with a certain revival jug band at that time. I studied her voice,her looks and her personality very well. I can tell you that I found nothing but success for this little lady. I called her aside and told her to go for herself and to find a spot in which she could show off her talentsinstead of being in the background." -- Victoria Spivey, after viewing Maria Muldaur's first appearance at the 1964 Newport Folk Festival with the Kweskin Jug Band TRACK LISTING * My Handy Man * What Makes You Act Like That? * Don't Love No Married Man * Dreaming of You * Organ Grinder Blues * No, Papa, No! * One Hour Mama * Funny Feathers * Gotta Have What It Takes * Any-Kind-A-Man * Down Hill Pull * T-B Blues
