The record
Fritz Richmond's washtub bass is the floor here, and Muldaur sings over it with his own guitar plus a second from Dave Van Ronk. Eric Von Schmidt doubles mandolin and harmonica, Bill Keogh sits at the piano. Twelve blues numbers issued on Prestige in 1964, played small and close rather than dressed up.
