"While Muldaur is best remembered for her work as a member of the Jim Kweskin Jug Band during the Greenwich Village folk revival days of the early 1960s and her monster solo hit "Midnight at the Oasis" during the 1970s, she has continued to put out excellent releases (over 40 albums!) that showcase her vocal talents and good taste. Let's Get Happy Together is another stellar recording.This time, Muldaur has joined forces with the New Orleans roots band Tuba Skinny ... They do an excellent job of recreating the music from a bygone era without sounding retro or precious. Indeed, they make the old sounds from the 1920s and 1930s seem fresh and new through their skillful playing. The pairing of Muldaur and Tuba Skinny seems a perfect match ... This is the kind of Crescent City music that makes a person smile and tap one's feet when it's happy and moan with a knowing smile when it's sad".
