Description
The album features Ruthie’s superb new orginals alongside a number of selct covers, including songs by Patty Griffin and Eric Bibb. It was recorded at the legendary Ardent studio in Memphis, and produced by acclaimed roots-music producer Chris Goldsmith (Blind Boys of Alabama, Charlie Musselwhite) . Musicians on the album include guitar great ROBBEN FORD and Memphis icon JIM DICKINSON and Hi Records legend CHARLIE HODGES (Al Green, Ann Peebles) on keyboards. Of the album, Dickison had this to say - “Real music. A salt and pepper quartet of seasoned session pros—playing together in a familiar recording space with good mics and a L.A. engineer—had me thinking I was dreaming. The producer had pre-recorded demos, Ruthie sang from a score. We took the first or second take. Then on the last day of tracking Charles Hodges, legend, literally a magician as well as master musician, joined us. What else can you say? Good artist, good players, good songs in a good space. The way it used to was.”
