TRUTH ACCORDING TO RUTHIE FOSTER, THE
by: RUTHIE FOSTER This extraordinary songwriter tackles life's big issues throughout her sizzling new album. On it Ruthie repeatedly testifies to her core message- that through all the ups and downs of living, you must stay true to yourself. For all the facets of this album, the heat of soul music burns at its core. Ruthie comes together with root-music producer Chris Goldsmith, blues guitarist Robben Ford, keyboardist Jim Dickinson, organist Charles Hodges, Larry Fulcher on Bass guitar and Rock Deadrick on percussion. |

PHENOMENAL RUTHIE FOSTER, THE
by: RUTHIE FOSTER Ruthie Foster has made the album of her career with The Phenomenal Ruthie Foster. Austin legend Papa Malie handles the production and guitar duties joining Ruthie and some of Austin's top musicians in a very strong set of originals and covers of songs by Son House, Sister Rosetta Thorpe and Lucinda Williams. This deeply grooving album shows a side of Ruthie that has never really been captured in the studio before as she displays her talents on the Fender/Rhodes and unleashes her soulful vocals on the funkiest songs she has ever recorded. |

STAGES
by: RUTHIE FOSTER This is the first live album from Ruthie Foster. Her reputation for dynamic live performances has spread across the country as she and partner Cyd Cassone have toured in support of her debut, Runaway Soul. Stages is aptly titled, as the album features songs from all stages of Ruthie's career and was recorded in a variety of musical settings. Ruthie's infectious stage personality comes through loud and clear on Stages, making it a "live" album in every sense of the word! |

RUNAWAY SOUL
by: RUTHIE FOSTER We first saw Ruthie playing with her partner Cyd Cassone at the Folk Alliance a few years back and were truly blown away by their talent. The rest of the world is now discovering her as well! "With one foot in African-American blues and gopsel and the other in the modern singer-songwriter music, she combines classic folk melodicism with bracingly modern romantic & topical sensibilities. She is that rare vocalist able to sound intimate when belting our soaring sustains and stage-strutting blues thumpers." (Scott Alarik, Boston Globe) Don't be the last to "discover" Ruthie! |
