Ruthie Foster, a gem



Album Rating: (4 of 5 stars)
Review Comments: I saw her in concert as part of a group of folk song artists and she stood out among them as talented and powerful. I bought this CD the next day. There is an earthiness to her and her songs speak to her experience.

Review Comments: How breathtaking! I'm listening to it as I write this. I don't know music or much else, but I know what stirs and enchants me and Ruthie Foster has me in her pocket, hole or no hole, from the moment I slipped in the disk and hit 'Play'. A friend burned a copy and gave it to me out of the blue, without preamble, in a stack with some other disks. Period. What a humble introduction for what I'm beginning to think may enter my pantheon of soul-stirring albums without blemish. That would put her in lofty company indeed, by MY lights, at least. Like, Carole King's 'Tapestry', Cat Stevens' 'Tea For the Tillerman', 'Fleetwood Mac', Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' and Meatloaf's 'Bat Out of Hell', to name just a few. I wasn't even sure what her name was at first, since he'd scrawled it on the CD. But I know it now and I'll do my small part to spread it around. THIS woman deserves to be famous. 'Runaway Soul' and Ruthie Foster have that sort of classic quality that just leaps into your heart and your guts and stakes a claim right from the first listening. I regret not having heard her in concert. That must be astonishing. But even from my tinny stereo she makes me cry, clap my hands and strut my flat like a one-man Mardi Gras! By all means, do yourself a kindness, if you love R&B, gospel, soul, or just smoothly polished passion and heartfelt boogie, buy a NEW copy of this CD. Which reminds me, I need to buy one too. This woman also DESERVES TO BE PAID!!!
