This debut CD from Ruth is full of warmth and soulful simplicity. There is an understated funkiness in her style as a vocalist, songwriter and musician.
As an accomplished jazz player, she was voted runner-up in the national UK competition 'Young Jazz Musician of the Year 1998'.
She went on to work extensively with the internationally successful pop group 'Morcheeba', touring and recording on their latest album - due for release in 2002.
'All the Good Things' (Tenterhook Records) features nine songs that show Ruth's craftsmanship in blending pop, jazz and funk in her own inimitable style.
She has drawn her inspiration from artists such as Steely Dan, Stevie Wonder, Sheryl Crowe, James Taylor, Rickie Lee Jones, Frank McCombe, Donnie Hathaway, Sting, Eva Cassidy and others, too numerous to mention.
Ruth Hammond - Lead vocals, Fender Rhodes, Hammond organ, tenor saxophone
James Pusey - Acoustic/electric guitars, sitar

this is a great album of superbly crafted songs and excellent musicanship.
author: dave betts
This CD is a beautifuly recorded collection of intimate, soulful songs. It ranges from very groovy (schools out,itchy feet)to top quality pop (living your love) and then on to atmospheric and reflective (All the good things). Great songs, great playing, great drum sound - buy it!

Soulful album with great playing and singing throughout.
author: James Forster
Soulful album with great playing and singing throughout. Has many feels but always grooves. Dig that dirty rhodes on itchy feet. Favourite track - St.Clears.

an excellent, ecclectic mix of tunes that carry a weight of intelligence and musicianship not found in this kind of music before.

Great production!
author: Luna Kafe
The sound quality of this album is very good, the production is sparse but exquisite - my stereo seldom sounded so good!
