Eager to share her music up, Ruth Theodore issued for one year (2007-2008) his first album on the site Jamendo. She produced this album ( Worm Food ) almost alone, playing the guitar itself, accompanied sparingly on a few songs on an accordion, violin, drums or bass and joined for distribution at the River Rats English independent label Records, which has the characteristic of using recycled materials. If you missed the brief appearance of this little masterpiece, it's too late for the free download. The album is now more accessible than through the purchase of the digipack or by downloading from the website Miss: http://music.ruththeodore.com/ You can still listen on Jamendo, a voice in the background song from 'Only The Missile' Robin Grey (also evolving into a musical movement similar). Originally from Southampton, a surprise 26 years English has managed to score from the start of a new style the world of folk music while remaining true to the spirit and commitment that characterizes protest. Outstanding guitarist (his game mainly consists of picking, which is reminiscent of Ani Difranco is remarkable), the inspired singer is not left at the quality texts rooted in the everyday reality of the 'protest song' without sacrificing the poetic dimension. The themes with a sense of eye-catching detail, written with great subtlety ranging from politics (Overexpanding) personal relationships (Grounded), all complemented by a cabaret spirit (we think of Brecht and Kurt Weill for 'As mentioned before last) and forays into jazz or gypsy klezmer. The phrasing very personal, clean and punchy, cleverly paced, binds fully instrumental hit, often to breaking point, without ever losing an indefinable attraction and captivating regardless tempo or mood. The songs are more peaceful in fact no less convincing, such as the nostalgic "Nothing On" or the beautiful "Kathy's Song." Note, a second album (White Holes of Mole Hills) is scheduled for February 2010 ...
(...)
music ... Before it got hair icts Caught in the thick of fad and fashion and delusions of grandeur got tangled up with passion and splattered on our television screens and paper captions the lives of those who for the most would die to get reactions.
But how cowardly it is of me to list internal hardships, and have a pop at people cause we make such easy targets. And how difficult it is, to try and sing like no-one else has sung, and how brilliant it can feel to be pleased with what you've done. And how the incidental things will always have much more in tow and how the smallest of things will teach you everything you know."
