A little country, rock,
and lots of blues
if
you BY LILY PRIGIONERO
In 1961, Jim Kreskin formed a jug
band that included Geoff Muldaur and
See Amos Garrett and eventually recorded
The Blues Project. Later Muldaur and
Garrett joined Better Days, a blues
group that featured Paul Butterfield
and included Muldaur's ex-wife Maria
as an occasional guest.
Since then, Geoff Muldaur and Amos
A Garrett have never stopped following
each other. At the Ark Monday night,
Ca there was a little bit of country, a little
bit of rock and roll, and lots of blues as
these two performers tuned up their
76-DA ILY electric guitars and plugged in their
amplifiers.
IT WAS CLEAR from the outset that
these musicians have vastly different
vocal qualities. In contrast to
Muldaur's great wailing voice,

Garrett's is low, and had a more
soothing, lulling sound. The opening
blues number ("Slow Consumption," I
believe) also revealed Garrett's
amazing talent for intricate guitar
picking and blues-bending. On the other
hand, Muldaur's keyboard techniques
left something to be desired, and his
piano accompanied "Why Should I
Love You" wasn't one of the evening's
better points.
The highlights came when the
musicians intertwined their senses of
humor, exhibiting the natural pleasure
they derive from their music. "Lazy
Bones" was "talking" music, laid-back
and perfect for Garrett's voice. Garrett
got so involved with his playing one
wondered if he was conscious of
anything else. "Hold on a see, let me
finish this," he would shoot back to his
partner, so he could finish a chord
progression.
Geoff Muldaur and Amos Garrett's
better days aren't over. They're on
their way to entertaining many more,
just as they have been since their band
broke up in 1969. When these two talents
combine, the music never dies out.
