“There is an old soul vibe to her music, but she also comes across as contemporary in a way that brings to mind the quieter work of acts like the Alabama Shakes.”
Press for Meteor:
“There’s a supercharged air of tight, bluesy rock in play on just about every track on Meteor and the driving beat is a perfect setting for Melissa’s deep, dark lyrics. 5 Stars”
“the most original singer-songwriter I've heard in recent memory”
“..fascinating and interesting from start to finish.”
“A SUPER WOMAN”
“With this album she could certainly earn a place in your collection next to your favorite songwriters.”
“Ruth has infused the spirit of the west in a blues record that would sound right at home in Chicago”
