    Valoración: VERY GOOD

In the dark, distant, and sometimes forgotten blues world, there were and still are some ‘one man band’ who used and still travel here and there like music hobos only to delight people who come to listen to them, thanks to their musical quality and the knowledge they gather both playing various instruments and keeping alive the old blues songbook coming from the beginning of last century What is not so common is to find a ‘one woman band’ as is Ruth Wyand Besides a suggestive voice with a lively cheerful vocal range, Ruth plays acoustic and electric guitar, foot drums she beats with her feet plus other percussion instruments Ruth comes now with this blues album where she has included eleven own songs plus three versions, Little Wing coming from Jimi Hendrix, Blind Willie McTell by Bob Dylan and Mint Julep by Etta Baker, all in a repertoire where Wyand feels comfortable and moves in an easy way Ruth has power enough to give free rein to her intimistic poetry and creativity and she does it in a rich pragmatic way, sometimes joyful and other times a little bit gloomy, but always with a good, simple and straight display which, with very few things, are enough to make listeners fall in love with her
