Any other Ruthie Foster fans out there?

She's mainly blues and folk, but I first heard her on NPR singing what you'd have to call gospel blues. Not surprising when you consider her family background. She sounds a lot like a younger Aretha Franklin.

Anyway, if you want to expand your horizons, check her out. She's fabulous.
