Ruthie Foster - Let It Burn

Found this one on plixid or somewhere like that and it is refreshing to find another modern artist with substance. Ruthie is a Texas gal from a gospel family who sings a blend of blues, folk and gospel.

"2012 release from the Soulful vocalist. Let it Burn is a deeply intimate recording: a smoky mix of original songs coupled with inventive interpretations of an unexpected collection of covers - ranging from Adele to Los Lobos, and from The Black Keys to Johnny Cash. Recorded in New Orleans at Piety Street studios, with a small group of A-List musicians that includes George Porter Jr. of the legendary Meters, this album takes the listener on Ruthie's most personal journey yet. With her deeply moving vocals at the core, Ruthie is supported along the way by some very special guests - gospel legends The Blind Boys of Alabama and Stax Records soul man William Bell."

Cool, I think this the only Ruthie I don't have. She's really good live, wish she'd come out west more often. My fave lp is "The Truth According To..." but each her discs have some fine material on them. Thanks KC.
