Maria Muldaur has always displayed a deep love for the musical past, but she’s never showed it more thoroughly than on her new album, “Richland Woman Blues.” She salutes Bessie Smith and other great jazz and blues singers who influenced her with hearty interpretations of some of their signature songs. She’ll draw from the album on a tour that stops Friday in Dana Point.
