Fanning the Flames is an album by the American musician Maria Muldaur, released in 1996.[2][3] Muldaur labeled the album's music "bluesiana," a combination of blues and Louisiana good-time music.[4] Muldaur included songs with political or topical themes, a choice she had rarely made in the past.[5]
The Washington Post thought that when Muldaur "sings blues, R&B or hillbilly music today, she no longer skips lightly over the rhythm; she now reinforces the beat with her vocal oomph, and her throaty growls give her vocals a sassy edge they never had before."[11]Newsday wrote that "it's the ease with which Muldaur can shift from a raw Texas honky-tonk vibe to sly Chi-town sophistication that makes this collection of tunes so interesting."[17]
The Patriot-News stated that "longtime New Orleans keyboard stalwart David Torkanowski, while accorded minimal solo space, provides a vital melodic and harmonic foundation to the session."[18]The Buffalo News concluded that Muldaur's "slightly surreal, baby-doll voice ... has deepened and roughened over the years, but her taste in what to sing remains gutsy and close to impeccable."[19]
AllMusic wrote that "Muldaur belts out gritty blues and gospel and soulful R&B as very few can."[15]
