The Truth According to Ruthie Foster
For all the facets of this album, the heat of soul music burns at its core. Features Foster originals and covers of O. V. Wright, Ann Peebles, and Patti Griffin. Contains the hard-edged blues of guitar icon Robben Ford (Yellowjackets, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell), the Memphis magic conjured by keyboardist Jim Dickinson (Rolling Stones, Aretha Franklin) and organist (Charles Hodges (Al Green, Ann Peebles), the rock steady rhythm anchor of bassist Larry Fulcher (Taj Mahal, Los Super Seven) and drummer Rock Deadrick (Tracy Chapman, Ben Harper). The legendary Memphis Horns add a distinctive coup de grace.
