A lot of the artists had never met or played with each other before." Muldaur became a Christian about a year ago, after her daughter was seriously injured (before completely recovering) from an automobile accident. The mishap occurred just after Bob Dylan had released an album called "Slow Train Coming," whom Muldaur has known since he was 19, when they were both a part of the New York folk scene. As Muldaur waited for her daughter to come out of surgery, lines of Dylan's Christian challenge, "You've Gotta Serve Somebody" echoed in her head.

San Franciaca Chronicla Willi IHSIM'V'S tentative state of her career, particularly since her last album had been sort of "lost in the record-business crash of 79," as Muldaur sees it "That was part of my emotional and spiritual turmoil prior to Jenny's accident," Muldaur revealed.

"The way I had operated in the world was no longer working on any level." When Muldaur arranged the gospel concert at McCabe's, she brought together 13 musicians. The lineup included the Chambers Brothers, David Mansfield and Steve Soles (formerly of the Alpha Band and Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue), Ron Tutt (noted session drummer who played with Elvis Presley), and the Burns Sisters, a white gospel trio that includes Brenda Burns, who sings with Bay Area band Asleep at the Wheel. The resultant record, titled "Gospel Nights," was just released on Takoma, which is distributed by Chrysalis Records. Muldaur sees a natural connection between rock and gospel. "The term 'rock and roll' comes out of the early Pentacostals who literally rocked and rolled in the aisles during worship like in the church scene in 'The tl A1SI)N ofll ITMllAWK HAT IMIIMKHIIH GENERAL AUDIENCES.

"Rhythm and blues, rock and roll, and everything in that vein derives from gospel." Muldaur enjoyed performing exclusively religious material with a group of fellow Christians. was fun to pray before rehearsals instead of snort and looks forward to doing such shows occasionally.

Primarily she continues to play with her regular, Marin-based, four-piece rock band at small clubs. While her band members don't share her beliefs, they appreciate how well the gospel numbers in the set fare with crowds. "Traditional gospel music has its own power. 1 realize that now, only in retrospect," reflected Muldaur. "Before, all I knew was that no matter how much I'd boogied with rock and roll, if I ended the set with gospel, it'd always bring the audience up another couple of notches." ALTHOUGH BECOMING an born-again Christian (after having been raised in an Italian Catholic family) hasn't changed Muldaur's musical style Gospel is still only one of the many genres she performs, along ith rock, jazz, country, and it has changed her lifestyle somewhat.

"I'm the same person, but it's a happier person-center from which the music flows," said Muldaur. "There's real peace and joy that doesn't have to be arrived at by the artificial means often resorted to by musicians, and which used to be resorted to by me," she laughed. Muldaur admittedly had a weakness for alchohol. I DOLBY STEREO PG ,1 -t; -v LAST 5 DAYS OFF HIGHWAY 280 -EXCLUSIVE SAN FRANCISCO ENGAGEMENT SERRAMONTE SIX 756-6500 NOW SHOWING Sim 215.6 00.

I was able to give up those crutches with no pain or regret, and I'm able to boogie harder now than ever before and it's the real me. I think the purpose of art, and particularly music, is to lift people above the mundane, petty world they muddle around in all day.
