"Ruth displays a style and elegance that sets a new standard in performance. She has a smooth, sensual, seductive voice as virtuoso-caliber musicians accompany her. I find myself playing this CD over and over again, intrigued by the emotion and depth she puts into each beautiful song. Anyone between the age of 18 and 80 who has a taste for fine music would appreciate this jewel!"

"Ruth Young is a sultry singer with a smoky voice, very similar to Meredith D'Ambrosio's. She first made the jazz scene singing with Chet Baker in the 1970s and also had a central role (the sexy blond in the black dress) in the Baker bio-flick "Let's Get Lost." Her version of that song heard on this album is quite good. Although she tends to take many of the tunes here at too slow a tempo, when she picks it up a little she really shines. LOOK FOR THE SILVER LINING swings nicely, but the real gem is BUT NOT FOR ME, one of the best versions I've ever heard. The presence of vibist Wolfgang Lackerschmid and especially altoist Herb Geller adds a great deal to the proceedings. (Geller, after all these years, is still at the top of his game.) This CD is a good one, definitely worth looking into."

Awesome Discovery - Great Presentation

"I recently purchased this CD. I feel exactly as the other people who have responded. This woman knows music, knows emotions, and reaches into the hearts of all of the people who listen to her beautiful voice. Please continue sharing her music with the general public. I want more music from this fabulous musician."
