The Truth According To Ruthie Foster is the follow up to The Phenomenal Ruthie Foster, which amassed a great deal of critical acclaim including this in the New York Post: “Foster has a deep gritty voice with a little Janis and some Aretha that will please discerning soul and rock fans". The Boston Globe has said: “Foster is a natural-born singer with a voice that is potent, unfussy and…deeply moving”.

The new album springs to life with a jaunty ‘70s vibe on the Ruthie-penned “Stone Love". From there, Ruthie paints with all the vivid colors on her palette: yearning desire amid a bouncy reggae beat on “I Really Love You,” heartbreak in the lyrics of the Patty Griffin tune “When It Don’t Come Easy,” funky horns on another Ruthie original “Dues Paid In Full,” the raw punch of “Nickel and a Nail,” and the deep-felt blues of “Tears of Pain.”
