Ruthie Foster appreciation thread

[The Polack MSgt]

Great voice, good picker, impeccable phrasing and timing like a swiss watch.

So here's a question. Can you be considered an American vocalist if you never do a Johnny Cash song?

Best not to risk it.

I absolutely love her solo version of Richland Woman Blues

She does have a band too. They're pretty damn good.

In a reversal of the normal process - Where rockers take an old blues tune and make it heavy metal - Ruthie turns a classic Black Sabbath song into a slow blues crawl
