Out in the Storm
"Ruth Purves Smith and the 581"
by Suzy Miller
I first heard RPS in the early 2000s when I had her open for Fred Eaglesmith at a couple of gigs! She was a gal who knew what she wanted but had not hit her stride yet! Well she has now! And the other thing Ruth has now is strength, in both her songwriting and in her voice. It is like she has grown roots right through her soul into the earth and you can not budge her!
A couple of songs have taken me: "Ride Around", wow it is so beautiful and so sad! I am playing it over and over. Also " Doin the Dance" is an ole country heartbreak song that I could two-step to with my main squeeze.
I am surprised and pleased by this great first record! And I can only think bigger stages are in her future! Thanks Ruth
"Life moves on and I set the Pace!"
