Soulful vocalist Ruthie Foster’s latest work, Let It Burn, is a deeply intimate recording: a smoky mix of original songs coupled with inventive interpretations of an unexpected collection of covers – ranging from Adele to Los Lobos, and from The Black Keys to Johnny Cash. Recorded in New Orleans at the legendary Piety Street Studio, with a small group of A-List musicians that includes George Porter Jr. of the legendary Meters, Ruthie takes the listener on the most personal visit yet with her deeply moving vocals.
