Her name is Ruby, and her hair is also. She cuts quite the figure and her voice is as striking as she is. Ruby James has a new album coming, Happy Now, produced in Austin by Charlie Sexton, and with Will Sexton and Mike Thompson on it. Having heard the CD, I can tell you it is lush and beautiful. We had her on the bus solo, though, and fortuitously, she followed JD Souther, which was just a magic moment. Pictures were taken, hail, well met. Here is a song from the CD, which is not yet out, but we love to bring you stuff ahead of the box. "The Predictable Kind." Amen.
