Шаблон:Infobox album Fanning the Flames is an album by the American musician Maria Muldaur, released in 1996.[1][2] Muldaur labeled the album's music "bluesiana," a combination of blues and Louisiana good-time music.[3] Muldaur included songs with political or topical themes, a choice she had rarely made in the past.[4]

The album peaked at No. 14 on Billboard's Blues Albums chart.[5] It was Muldaur's first album for Telarc.[6]

Production

Produced by John Snyder, Muldaur, and Elane Martone, the album was recorded at Dockside Studio Recordings, in Maurice, Louisiana.[7][8] Bonnie Raitt duetted with Muldaur on "Somebody Was Watching Over Me".[9] Mavis Staples, Johnny Adams, Ann Peebles, Tracy Nelson, and Huey Lewis also sang on, or contributed instrumentation to, the album.[10][11] "Well, Well, Well" is a cover of the Bob Dylan song; Muldaur was inspired to record it after talking with Dylan about Jerry Garcia's death.[12][13]

Critical reception

Шаблон:Album ratings The Washington Post thought that when Muldaur "sings blues, R&B or hillbilly music today, she no longer skips lightly over the rhythm; she now reinforces the beat with her vocal oomph, and her throaty growls give her vocals a sassy edge they never had before."[10] Newsday wrote that "it's the ease with which Muldaur can shift from a raw Texas honky-tonk vibe to sly Chi-town sophistication that makes this collection of tunes so interesting."[14]

The Patriot-News stated that "longtime New Orleans keyboard stalwart David Torkanowski, while accorded minimal solo space, provides a vital melodic and harmonic foundation to the session."[15] The Buffalo News concluded that Muldaur's "slightly surreal, baby-doll voice ... has deepened and roughened over the years, but her taste in what to sing remains gutsy and close to impeccable."[16]

AllMusic wrote that "Muldaur belts out gritty blues and gospel and soulful R&B as very few can."[17]
