Wealthy Ruth: June 27, 2024 Colony


Ruth’s current album on Third Man, “Water Nonetheless Flows” is barely two weeks from launch however already looks like an outdated favourite. The huge and atmospheric house jazz tinges discovered on “I Survived, It’s Over” are nonetheless there; however a more durable edge has been added. Heavy guitars and fuzz, a contact of sludge and darkness. That’s to not say this can be a darkish album. These additions are well-balanced. A part of that balancing act is harpist (and native favourite) Mikaela Davis’s contributions to the report.

Ruth and his band got here by Woodstock on the final night time of a run supporting Davis and her band, Southern Star. There was a second throughout the previous couple of minutes of “Motion at a Distance” the place I may discover Ruth and firm win over the gang. After a couple of minutes of atmospheric sax work by Sam Que, the rhythm part begins to boil. You may really feel the vitality start to mass after which explode as Ruth lays into his guitar. People who had beforehand been speaking to pals began trying to the stage.

Davis joined on the final two songs of the set. This was a particular deal with I don’t count on to see once more any time quickly. The primary monitor she performs on “No Muscle, No Reminiscence” presents an ideal microcosm of what this undertaking is. At its starting, it sounds just like the interval simply earlier than the solar comes up; the time when the brand new day might be something and potentialities exist. However by its finish it had apparent definition, and you understand what the dawn had introduced.

The Colony is a difficult room to tape in. On this night time, I used to be arrange on the balcony, barely left of middle. Whereas the combination within the room was good, this location leaves me in the midst of individuals searching for a quieter place to talk. As such, crowd chatter is noticeable throughout quieter passages. General, the standard is superb, however that is most actually an “AUD”. Get pleasure from!
