Waitress In A Donut Shop was the quick follow up album from Maria Muldaur. Unlike the debut it lacked a hit single but showcased her talent for interpreting a variety of different musical genres. (US:23)
“Some great tracks and different styles from Maria Muldaur, from blues to jazz to folk and even country/bluegrass. The supporting case of musicians is excellent.”
“Waitress In A Donut Shop is incredibly varied. Maria Muldaur was unusual, certainly for the early 70s, in that she did not write her own songs, but she is a superb interpretive singer and this is a great album.” <> “You aren't missing much by not checking her out. Her voice isn't that great, lyrics are cheesy, and instrumentation is bland. I didn't like this album much. Gringo En Mexico was a decent song and the only one I slightly enjoyed.”
“Each song offers something completely different and all of it is worth listening to. Maria Muldaur can pull off country, jazz, blues, ballads and more. My favourite track is Honey Babe Blues, but really every song is great and even though the track selection is eclectic, Maria's voice ties them all together very nicely.”
“For the second time in a row, Maria Muldaur surrounds herself with some fine musicians, some excellent songs, and a good producer, and puts together a very satisfying album with a nice variety of styles.”
“This is my favourite Maria Muldaur album. The music is superb. There is a lot of jazz with some blues and pop. The backup musicians are remarkable who really belt it out, and Muldaur's voice is equal to the incredible instrumental music. She can sing with power and authority, yet keep a feminine perspective in any arrangement.” <> “As good as I remembered it, and what a guest roster. The title track Sweetheart is mesmerizing and smooth. But my favourite is Gringo En Mexico, with a beautiful haunting melody and accompaniment, a real showcase for Muldaur's sultry voice.”
