Ruth Garbus | the PROPAGANDA site

Ruth Garbus is a singer-songwriter who works in a folk-oriented style, often in a solo setting with her acoustic guitar, accompanied by an occasional guest or two, which contributes to the deeply personal nature of her music and the sense of intimacy she evokes. She is an outstanding vocalist who occasionally flows into a Joni Mitchell inspired tone in her delivery. Her songs are gentle, mellow, and stay mostly in the mid to low tempo range. They are melodically subtle and with hooks that may be a bit shy on stage. What stands out instead is the emotional depth and honesty packed into her music and build into her lyrics.

This article says that Garbus's sister Merrill is in the band, Tune-Yards. I have one excellent digital download by the Tune-Yards and would love to have more.

Tom Huntington is a veteran Vermont music journalist. I have read a good deal of his work and it is great to see one of his pieces again.

Ruth Garbus : Alive People : Aquarium Drunkard

Ruth Garbus finds the extraordinary in the most mundane objects, the noise of traffic, the feel of a rubber ball in the hand, the comfort of two small squares of dark chocolate and one or two vials of red wine. These quiet songs, sublimely introspective yet recorded with friends in front of a live audience, have a still, luminous power.
