Product Information


Featuring special guests The Blind Boys of Alabama, soul legend William Bell, and the rhythm section of The Funky Meters (bassist George Porter Jr. and drummer Russell Batiste). Recorded in New Orleans with producer John Chelew (The Blind Boys of Alabama, John Hiatt, Richard Thompson), "Let It Burn" also includes New Orleans-bred guitarist Dave Easley, renowned saxophonist James Rivers and Ike Stubblefield (Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, and Eric Clapton) on organ.

In addition to two new tracks from Foster, "Lord Remember Me" and "Aim for the Heart", Ruthie adds her signature sound to songs by Adele, Black Keys, Los Lobos, Johnny Cash, The Band, Pete Seeger, Crosby, Stills & Nash and more. "Let It Burn" is also Ruhtie's first album where she does not play an instrument. Foster explains, "It gave me a lot more freedom vocally. Without a guitar, all I did was concentrate on singing."
