    If a genie bottle with the Year 1974 washed up on a shore and you picked up and rubbed it... Maria Muldaur would come popping out singing Midnight at the Oasis, wearing those blue denim hip huggers, the braless halter top, the huge flowing frizzy hair with the bright flower. And of course playing the tambourine on her hip... COME ON... WOW. What a great style and great decade for music. That's that perfect visual and sound of 1974. AMAZING!!!

    Thanks so much for this....Maria's music has blessed me ever since 1974. And just to be clear, this is not a "cover version" but the original version that made it to the Billboard Top Ten. The fantastic Guitar work was done by Amos Garrett. And while he's done a lot since then....this song really gave his career a real boost as it did for Maria. Thanks much for your Reaction Videos, I really enjoy your thoughts and opinions.

      You mixed up two verses. Its: "And if you feel my thigh, You're gonna go up high." then next verse, "'Cause if you buy me rye, You're gonna make me high." The original was done in the '30s by husband & wife team Blue Lou and Danny Barker. Maria recorded it on her first album. After "Oasis" hit big, she dropped it from her setlist because she didn't want to be stereotyped as a "sexy singer." I can't imagine how she thought, with the way she looked and sang, that would ever be possible.

    Nominated for Song of the year and Album of the year, in 1975 , 17th Grammy Awards, it was immensely popular. Beautiful melody, lyrics, vocals and guitar make up this perfect song.

      Mary, you'll appreciate the fact that the wonderful guitar solo was played by Amos Garrett (a Canadian!) who started out playing with Ian & Sylvia. He also played guitar on Anne Murray's "Snowbird." He got involved with the scene in Woodstock and played with a lot of artists from that locale (Todd Rundgren, Jesse Winchester, Paul Butterfield, etc.). Jimmy Page called him one of the best guitarists in North America. He lives in Edmonton nowadays. 80 years old, still playing guitar.

    She does every kind of music. From children's songs and an album of Shirley Temple covers to an album entitled Naughty, Bawdy, and Blue. She does Gospel, Blues, throwback music, big band, jug music, and has done at least album as part of the Blues Preservation Project. Richland Woman Blues album is music by black women in the 1920's and 30's. My personal favorite are Walking One and Only, It Don't Mean a Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing, and Richland Woman. Oh, and she just released her 39th album last year, not counting the 7 she did as part of jug bands.

    In the 1990s this song was frequently used as bumper music in the famous Coast to Coast with Art Bell. The show based out of Pahrump Nevada was notorious for bringing public awareness to Area 51. For 3 hours starting at midnight with a 1 or 2 hour replay afterwards you had every crazy in the universe on AM radio. One night would start with newsworthy material to a 2 to 3 hour special interviews about anything: aliens, teleportation, remote viewing, nuclear energy, Bible prophesy, (Protestant or Catholic)1960s space race etc. I would fall asleep with the radio on. Absolutely riveting, crazy songs like this one or Counting Flowers On the Wall by the Statler Brothers.

    Been a fan of hers since I first heard her voice, love most everything she's done that I know, but particularly this album, Sweet Harmony the album and especially the song, Waitress in a Donut Shop, Southern Winds (make love to the music & cajun moon), and Louisiana Love Call with Dr John, with one of the most beautiful songs you'll ever hear is Southern Music from that album. She started out in a jug band and like someone alluded to this song was just cobbled together by the drummer (maybe, do not remember anymore for sure) because they needed one more song for the album and it became a run away hit and probably her most well known. If I remember right her husband at the time Jeff Muldaur was on this album on bass. Go find Southern Music with here and Dr John for a real treat, before you forget, then go buy all of her music that you can! Last I saw she was still out there performing live.

    Maria Muldaur got her start with the Jim Kweskin & Jug Band! They were one of my favorites back in the day. I had their album released in 1966 which was stamped on both sides with "See Reverse Side For Title!" Always enjoyed her voice!

    Maria was one of my favorites in my college days in the mid 70's. While this is very poppy, most of her music was much more jazzy blues. One of my favorites was "Old Rockin' Chair."

    I'll have to check out Brand New Heavies version. I didn't know it had been covered! Maria Muldaur's sensuous song "Midnight at The Oasis" theme is a vivid love affair theme! Great memories of the 1970s! I'm glad you like it!

    The great arrangement, starting from that wonderfully brisk intro (made for radio play) and the wonderful production on this song tend to make you smile at the rather fey lyrics of this song - where in other contexts they would just annoy. Maria's voice fits the song perfectly and as a package it had "hit" written all over it. I like this one a lot, but even so I preferred the follow up single "Gringo En Mexico" which sadly didn't do anything like as well.

    I think you would really enjoy a Canadian Jazz singer named Molly Johnson. She was in a couple of bands called Alta Moda: Julian (not Aldo Nova), The Infidels : Celebrate and as back up singer for Tom Cochrane and Red Rider. She also has her own solo work which is fantastic. Soulful, funky and smokey vocal.

    What a beautiful song! I wasn't born when this came out but wow, what an amazing voice! I accidentally heard this song on a jazz station few days ago. The original is a masterpiece and now I can't stop listening to this. I love the 70's music.

    Hi Harri ... Her last name is pronounced like "mulled flower", but without the "fl" (i.e. "mull-dower"). I'm glad you got to here this brilliant song. I was just reading an article about her, and how people still give her sh*t for doing sexual songs that reflect the older thinking, but she's adamant that THAST'S the way she likes it ... I do too and think there's nothing wrong with it. God, I use to dream about her when her song would come on the radio, late at night . I always felt like she was talking/singing to me 😉😊😁👍😎.

    I love it and like being introduced to the Heavies but Maria goes back farther than they do. She was also married to another musician, Jeoff Muldaur. Maria is old now, like me, but she still performs.
    There is an eight part series in which Maria Mauldar talks about her past. It is part of a Living Legends Music series. You owe it to yourself to check it out, along with some of her more mature performances.

    I saw her in 1975 in Portland Oregon and 25 years later in a little bar in Oregon City. Her voice is a little lower but she still got it. She did a series of interviews about her career which show up as 5-minute spots on UA-cam.

    What a sexy song! (When the original came out, I was 17 and exploding with hormones.) And technically speaking, I love how the melody begins halfway through the bar, on beat three. And even more uniquely, it starts on the 6th scale degree. Refreshing.
