Ruby James @ The 5 Spot

Ruby James is truly a gem!! With a voice so unique,and soothing to the soul. She is bluesy,with a touch of rock,and the lyrics that she sings will take you on an everlasting journey! Once you hear her, you just can't get enough! You quickly become addicted to her voice, and find yourself mesmerized by her lyrics. As you listen and fall into the trance that she puts you in, you immediately feel her emotions. You become so enthralled with her sound that you almost feel like you've known her all your life. She starts out expressing the hurt she has felt in her life possibly with a lover,in her songs The Words Goodbye, and Everything Good Goes Away. Then as she moves on, she comes to realize that it wasn't what she thought it was or maybe even wanted it to be with Passengers and Mistress Of The Devil and her take on Wicked Games. As she picks herself up by her bootstraps, she realizes, it's not so bad after all with Strayed and When I'm Gone.She learns that life is hard and it is never easy as she sings Oh Mama. As she goes deep into her roots and expresses the love she has for her grandparents she walks them back through life with I Don't Mind and of course Desert Rose. Finally she reaches a point in her life where she is ready to move on and forget the past with No Way To Love You. As she takes the guitar in hand and gets comfy with herself, she furiously burst out into the world with her raging red hair and her sparkling blue eyes and the rest will be history! She is truly a legend in the making.

Eddie Spaghetti has been the ringleader of the Supersuckers since 1988. But with the band’s creation of their own conglomerate (Mid Fi Recordings) in 2002, Spaghetti also found time for a tidy, good-timin’ solo career. Sauce appeared in 2004; it featured covers of outlaw country favorites from Kristofferson and Cash as well as a few Spaghetti originals. The Supersuckers were still a band during Eddie’s dalliance. They released a few live records and even toured with Pearl Jam. But by 2005 Spaghetti had found enough time and songs for another solo flight, and Old No. 2 appeared that October. According to Mr. Spaghetti, The Sauce showcases his “impeccable song choices and uncanny ability to sing the drinking songs for drinkers who like to drink the drinks.”
