This is 1970s soft rock with a jazzy tinge. I must confess that 1970s soft rock is not my thing. I lasted only 20 seconds of this.
Maria Muldaur (born 1942) has had a long and successful career as a folk and blues singer. She started her career in the early 1960s as a member of the Even Dozen Jug Band, which also featured John Sebastian, later of the Lovin' Spoonful. She then joined Jim Kweskin & the Jug Band and was part of the Greenwich Village scene of the 1960s.
"Midnight At The Oasis" reached #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #21 on the UK Singles Chart. It was nominated for a Grammy award but did not win. The sensual feel of the song has led one music critic to state that it was responsible for more pregnancies than any other record in the 1970s.
Ms. Muldaur went on to release "I'm A Woman", a cover of the 1963 hit by Peggy Lee. This has more of a jazz-blues feel and is more upbeat. It reached #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 but did not get airplay in Toronto. She became a backing vocalist for The Grateful Dead for a time in the 1970s and has released 40 albums to date, the last of which was in 2025.
