Our 2016 release of all brand new songs on the Catty Town Records label- the first songs Ruby has been able to write since her 2008 accident that left her with a TBI affecting the language side of her brain. She worked hard to recuperate from that injury, and we think these are some of the best songs she’s ever written: songs about the struggles we all face in this world, and overcoming them with grace and a little bit of sweat. We’re talking straight-up rockabilly, jump-blues and murder ballads at their best!
