Maria Muldaur, What Was the First Album You Ever Bought?

“I remember that when I was 13 years old, my Aunt Olympia bought me Elvis Presley’s first album on Sun Records – the one with ‘Heartbreak Hotel’ and ‘Blue Moon of Kentucky.’

I found it years later, and there were these little pink lipstick marks all over the album cover where I had kissed my hero. It just cracked me up.

But I’ve got to admit that I just loved Elvis, and he can still make me swoon. I think he’s so sexy and such a great singer, too.”

Maria Muldaur sashays into the Van Dyck in Schenectady on Friday for two shows (7 & 9:30pm) in support of her brand new back-to-her-jug-band-roots album, “Maria Muldaur & Her Garden of Joy.”
