> STONY PLAIN EARNS ITS FIRST GRAMMY NOMINATION
> FOR MARIA MULDAUR'S "RICHLAND WOMAN BLUES"
> 
> The Edmonton-based independent record label Stony Plain has earned
> its first Grammy nomination in its 25 -year history.
> Richland Woman Blues, the Maria Muldaur album financed and
> distributed internationally by the label, was nominated today in the
> Best Traditional Blues Album category.  The label's head, Holger
> Petersen, was executive producer on the record, part of which was
> recorded in Canada.
> The record is a tribute to the unique original artists who
> helped spawn American music.  Muldaur, along with such guests as
> Bonnie Raitt and Taj Mahal, interprets songs associated with such
> legends as Bessie Smith, Memphis Minnie, Fred McDowell, Leadbelly,
> the Rev. Gary Davis, and Mississippi John Hurt.
> The record also includes an appearance by Calgary guitarist
> Amos Garrett, who took part in Muldaur's hit recording of Midnight At
> the Oasis back in 1973.
> "I received several nominations for Midnight at the Oasis,
> but this means infinitely more to me," she said today from her home
> in Mill Valley, California.  "Stony Plain gave me a wonderful
> opportunity, shared the vision I had, and got the record out into the
> world."
> Other artists nominated in the category for their recent
> releases include Ike Turner, Jimmy Vaughan, Kim Wilson, and James
> Blood Ulmer, as well as a "various artists" tribute to Robert Johnson.
