Nashville gets a bad rap when people think its only musical dimension is mainstream country. For that is just not the whole story. Meet Nashville pop/folk duo Sam & Ruby. Their debut album, The Here And The Now, was named Associated Press’ Album Of 2009 by Nekesa Moody. Moody noted in her year-end AP piece: “Their blend of acoustic folk, country and soul sounds homespun, as though they've been making music together for a lifetime. And they've reached near-perfection with this CD.” Americana is a big tent. It incorporates all kinds of roots music. And yes, the soul's got to be in there.
Since Sam & Ruby will be touring through DC when the Music Foggers are down in Austin, we figured we'd bring this tasty musical treat your way.
