...Ruth Ungar Merenda For a young folk musician, fiddle and uke player and vocalist Ruth Ungar Merenda has gone through a surprisingly large amount of performing groups and incarnations.

2008-05-05 16:41:13 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Ruths thrid, self titled, album was out, the band was in the middle of a big identidy crisis, or so ti seems. After all the experimentalism displayed on Amar Caballero, Babe Ruth simply seemed lost. Each track points a different direction and the whole CD sounds directionless Tracks like Dancer, Jack OLanter and Sad But Rich are hard rockers...

...Ruths debut album First Base is an excellent album IMO. I expected nothing and got a nice surprise. If you like female fronted prog rock this ones a real treat. Its very different from groups like Renaissance and Curved Air though as Jennie Haan is a very original and distinct vocalist. She seldom sings with soft angelic voices like many...

...Ruth's music can be described as an excellent mix of '70s hard rock with typical progressive leanings voiced by a terrific female vocalist whose vocals give the album all sorts of life. The two leading forces of the band are the two sources of noise that are most prominent in the music. Vocalist Jenny Haan exercises all possible and probable...

...Ruth coming into their sophomore output. After their magnificent debut, will they be able to follow up with an equally good album this time around? The short answer is no. The long answer is coming up. Like their debut, this album is styled around heavy rock inspired by the more hard rocking bands of the time while trying to be a competitor...

2008-06-07 22:48:31 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Ruths debut album featured a hard-rocking blues singer (Juanita Haan) that could have gone toe- to-toe with Janis Joplin, a pianist who played like hed just downed a half-bottle of white crosses, and multi-instrumentalist Alan Shacklock who gave the band most of the sounds that landed them with the progressive label in the early seventies....

...Ruth seem to have made a big impact on those who got into some of their minor hit singles back in the seventies. It is common to read reviews, blogs and forum entries from middle-aged dudes (seems to be almost all guys for some reason) who were really blown away by the bands energy as well as by their relatively simple but well-textured...

2008-08-28 23:25:34 by Mr Snookles in Third Island
Ruth Wallis (5 January 1920 22 December 2007) was a novelty cabaret singer. Born in Brooklyn, New York, Wallis began her career singing jazz and cabaret standards, but gained fame in the 1940s and 1950s for her risqué, satirical songs, rife with double entendre that she wrote herself. She did have a mainstream hit with "Dear Mr. Godfrey," a...
