Description
THE TRUTH ACCORDING TO RUTHIE FOSTER is the follow up to THE PHENOMENAL RUTHIE FOSTER, which amassed a great deal of critical acclaim including the NY POST: “Foster has a deep gritty voice with a little Janis and some Aretha that will please discerning soul and rock fans. Her cover of Lucinda Williams’ ‘Fruits of My Labor’ tops the original.� The Boston Globe agreed: “She’s got a right to brag. Foster is a natural-born singer with a voice that is potent, unfussy and…deeply moving,� Meanwhile, in her hometown of Austin, the Chronicle sung her praises: “Foster’s deeply soulful vocals dip into gospel and swing toward contemporary folk with R&B panache. When she sings a cappella, the heavens part.� The album springs to life with a jaunty ‘70s vibe on the Ruthie-penned “Stone Love.� From there, Ruthie paints with all the vivid colors on her palette: Yearning desire amid a bouncy reggae beat on “I Really Love You,� heartbreak in the lyrics of the Patty Griffin tune “When It Don’t Come Easy,� funky horns on another track that Ruthie wrote, “Dues Paid In Full,� the raw punch of “Nickel and a Nail,� and the deep-felt blues of “Tears of Pain.�
