Good moments help but Maria at her worst
Review written by John Fitzgerald, April 20th, 2005

There are some moody ballads here but unfortunately "Open your eyes" came at Muldaur's lowest point so a potentially good album ends up OK. You can hear Rick Vito's slidy main riff in "Clean up woman" throughout the track fairly well though this funkish pep is pretty dated sounding. The best part I think was the Billie Holiday cover "Lover man (Oh where can you be)" with it's light brushes and electric piano tinkles, it reminds me of Bonnie Raitt's title track to her Warner Brothers album from the same time period called "The glow". Another track with this same taste is "Elona" and though it does work almost as well, "Lover man (Oh where can you be)" has the edge. "Love is everything" is a piano led slow dragging ballad with nice "ooh" backing vocals which makes for a good closer but that's if you make it that far as the opening "Fall in love again" is a lightweight rocker with a disco lean, "Finally made love to a man" would've been a pleasant ballad but the steel guitar parts give this song an un-needed country taste, "Birds fly south (When winter comes)" is a piano chunker that tries to be "Midnight at the oasis" style chirp, "Heart of fire" is a banal dated rocker that earns this tag due to the song's piano & horns heaviness. The title track is a mid tempo tapping strummer but it's chanting background vocals is the element here that dates this one and "(No more) Dancin' in the street" tries to be the toughest rocker present but the horns lighten the load. Start with "Meet me at midnite" if you're going to investigate Maria Muldaur's work as that album has her strengths, this album doesn't as it only displays Maria's weaknesses.
