- Geoff Muldaur and Jim Kweskin, longtime partners from the 1960’s-era Jim Kweskin Jug Band, reunited for the album Penny’s Farm.
The duo visited the Acoustic Guitar Sessions studio to perform two songs: “99-Year Blues” and “Sweet to Mama.”
Muldaur played a Geoff Muldaur Signature Martin (with a 00 body), while Kweskin played a Martin D-18 Vintage model.
Geoff Muldaur is the finest blues singer EVER.
These men are national treasures
Couldn't agree more!
All praises to these two for keeping these songs going.
SO great to see these two playing together. They've both still 'got it!'
It's as if time stood still! Listening to these two throws me back to the '60s.ar rhe Club 47 Mt Auburn and the Cafe Yana. I performed on the bill with Jim and he gang at Brown University in the early '60s ' Looking forward to seeing Jim again at Mc Cabes.
Man, do I ever remember these two characters. Times. Back when. Headshake to all others of that gen who remember it too. We wuz beatniks and we loved that ol' folk music. Uh huh. Still do. Salut!
Yup! I'm from Worcester and traveled to Boston whenever I could and yes, I was and still am a beatnik
This is not only a singing and guitar duet but an explanation of how these musicians became interested in old songs. Their playing and singing are strong and pure representing Blind Willie and Robert Johnson
Cross Roads, Eric Clapton,James Taylor, Jerry Garcia and Delbert McClinton all have the love of music. It is not only in their heads but is surges through their veins. How wonderful in a world that seems to have lost its wonder. Music to feed the heart and soul.
As astounding as they have always been! Bravi! They taught a generation how to fingerpick!
I remember seeing them perform so many times at Club 47 in Cambridge. Love that music!
Me, too! Both the one on Mt. Auburn and then the one in Brattle Square. Were you there the night Eric Anderson performed and Joan Baez showed up? Don't mean to take the spotlight off Jim K. and Geoff M. They are fantastic.
Most people have no idea about who Geoff Muldaur is but know of Maria Muldaur...Of course, both are consummate musicians. People know of Kweskin's Jug Band, but this recording of both together is magical stuff by magical artists. Geoff is a great entertainer in concert as is Kweskin. Long may they run!
On top of all the righteous appreciation expressed here, they are super fun to sing along with. Good for the soul to join in freely there on your home turf. You know you want to . . .
Kudos to these guys for dedicating an important part of their lives... helping revive this wonderful jug band music!
Two masters in action! Real music!
Their sound is as fresh as ever
Just Terrific! Great Acoustic finger picking & singing to boot........Love it..........
Superb and Sublime,
Mel-ancholic music.
That is a treat!
Wow such a rich sound! Great bluesy vocals. Awesome guys!
Fantastic!
I love it.
Great performance. Just fantastic...
Superb
I love the end banter It was great. I messed up a couple places. I don't care. Been there before, usually the messed up part.
Love it! Now I have to get off YT and go listen to my old Geoff & Amos Garrett album. Hope these guys book more concerts this year and come to my area.
Love the Frank Stokes
Love it!
wonderful
Oh dear, yes.
Great!
The last part... hahahaha... you two are awesome! :)
Oh dear, yes . . .
These two made a finger picker out of me.
Super, great performance :)
Great tone! Thanks!
Geoff's Martin is exceptionally clear and rich. What a guitar!!
Merci
Jim “uh, I messed up a couple times”
Geoff “Don’t care, it was Great!”

blustng07 thanks
No problem. It really is a great sounding guitar. These guys also do a great job LISTENING to each other. The way it should be.
Wonderful! Prnny's Farm is a great album. Ditto Texas Sheiks.
It`s pretty how those harmony rollls layer over the other boom-chuck fngr pck’r..that might be Maria Muldauer’s bro, ..Village ppl of 60’s City Folkies in NYC’s Village ..who met all kinds of Folkies there, and developed more modern pop/folk styles..but, tho it sold well, it goes back to poor rural pickers like M John Hurt n Doc Watson..Eric Clapton, John Sebastian, Mamas and Papas, Joni, Bob ..mined, smithed and t ransmu ted the folk language to gold,..somehow , back in the days of Village Scene City Folkies..Quite a story! Pete S..wanted to keep it acoustic; not sure. If it’s just a folk tale he took an axe to Bob’s power supply to el guitar amp..it’s rumoured he was so taken abackby the advent of FolkRock..maybe, AC Guitar ppl know, if that is,historically accurate Village. folk scene Saga or not,..Greta Garbo lived by East River, Dave Van Ronk sang at W Sqare fountain,..Pete jammed in..very organic stuff back then,and real pizzas too ; ) i make someone nostalgic now?
Oh, tnk U..didn't know..(obviously,..) Cheers! ..U related to the great Guitar Builder in Canada?..Lol!
So sweet I got a toothache.
Too bad Muldaur's guitar is mixed over the top on the first .The 2nd his vocal is buried
