Threads demonstrates Ruth’s pure and powerful voice which stunningly conveys stories of love, loss, adventure and heartache, weaving through simple stripped down ballads and soaring above sweeping strings arrangements. Her quirky piano melodies and catchy guitar riffs are augmented on the album with cello from Hannah Edmonds, melodeon from Saul Rose (Waterson:Carthy, Whapweasel), fiddle from Roger Wilson (Wood:Wilson:Carthy) and harmony singing from Bella Hardy.
Threads has already achieved much critical acclaim with top reviews in The Guardian, Mojo, The Independent, BBC Radio 2 and fRoots, among others. Kate Rusby and Mike Harding have both cited it as one of their top albums and The Indepedent recently named it as an album of the week. With a string of live dates planned through the Spring/Summer, Ruth's star looks set to continue its ascent.
