little review from bicycle records:
"Ruth just moved to Olympia from Anacortes, WA. Her songs make me think of those messages from the dream-world you can almost remember when you get up in the morning. This album is full of breath and atmosphere which we at Bicycle like very much.
-Ross"

I just added your song as my profile song. so.....Stick that in your pipe and smoke it/Blow it out your blow hole.
I can't believe I made it onto your list of influences yet I'm not a top friend. It is cool. We live a few states away. Hey, I THINK you might have tried to call me the other day. It was an oly number I didn't recognize. I tried calling back, but my terrible, terrible phone kept messing up. As it does more often than not. If my phone were a person, it would be David Letterman. Cause you know, we all make mistakes, like my phone, and like David Letterman.
ali, and the ruth's. this evening I have found myself listening to the songs on your page over and over. I sure do love your music. I think 'all voices sing' is my favorite song of yours. Partly cause it is a variation of one of my all time favorite songs, 'all creatures of our god and king'. Man, talking about this song caused me to put it back on, it gets me feeling so psyched. The song causes in me feelings transcendence. A feeling that all attachment to the muck of earth living is gone. I miss you MAN! But my reunion with Olywa isn't far. Oh, I hope you still live there when I move there. I will understand and be supportive if you don't. But if you DO, I will be slightly more understanding and supportive. Joke, I will be MUCH more understanding and supportive.

So here it is in EPIC proportions - "The Dusty Tales". The first main release on Dust Wind Tales. It features 25 bands/artists from the UK, USA & Europe. From fingerpicking beauty to wild drone. From tales captured in the moment to crafted vocals that carry you to a new place. This is music that will inspire you...
The compilation features on 2 white faced CDs held in a yellow & brown spraypainted half size super clear dvd case. There are 2 inserts (featuring an exclusive or famous quote by each band) & a Dust Wind Tales badge (made especially for this release) to accompany the CDs . This comes wrapped in a brown paper bag & be held togetherby some "yee old bali twine"...
Hey sugar-pants, How's Oly treating ya? Ya know,"It's the water... and a whole lot more". Don't you forget it! I'm in Los Angeles. Loosly planning to be back in Seattle around August. Stay strong young scout!
