NEW ALBUM LET IT BURN RECORDED
IN NEW ORLEANS WITH SPECIAL GUESTS
Ruthie Foster |
Those who have followed Ruthie Foster's eclectic musical history know that she can burn down any stage with her combustible blend of soul, blues, rock, folk and gospel. And when Grammy Award-winning producer John Chelew suggested she record an album in New Orleans — with support handpicked from the Crescent City's overflowing pool of talent - it was an opportunity for Ruthie to infuse fresh spices into her already rich sonic gumbo. The result is Let It Burn - slated for January 31, 2012 release on Blue Corn Music - a recording that smolders, sizzles and ignites with an intensity born from her vibrant voice and indelible presence.
Let It Burn, recorded at New Orleans' Piety Street Studios, features some of that city's most respected players: The Funky Meters' rhythm section of bassist George Porter Jr. and drummer Russell Batiste, guitarist Dave Easley, renowned saxophonist James Rivers, Hammond B3 wizard Ike Stubblefield, and finally, legendary gospel singers The Blind Boys of Alabama and soul icon William Bell.
Ruthie Foster will hit the road this coming Winter and Spring in support of the new record. All scheduled tour dates are listed below.
