    Ruthie Foster, blues-folk artist from musical family in Gause, Texas - often compared to Fitzgerald or Franklin has just released her seventh album, that do not deviate too much from her previous recordings. We can find great, gospel "Welcome Home" and "Lord Remember Me", swinging "This Time", varied by saxophone ballad "You Do Not Miss Your Water", a capella song "The Titanic",Ruthie Foster, blues-folk artist from musical family in Gause, Texas - often compared to Fitzgerald or Franklin has just released her seventh album, that do not deviate too much from her previous recordings.

High-flying album - not just for blues fans.… Expand

    The undoubted highlight is a completely reconstructed version of Ring of Fire that's guaranteed to stay in your heart forever. [May 2012, p.82]

    She's taken a more reflective direction that emphasizes tenderness over tenacity and subtlety above sizzle.

    The church is never far from Foster's vocals, and even though the predominant sound here is a blues shot through with organ and echoing slide guitar, she seems closer to gospel than ever.
