Today Nashville pop-folk duo Sam & Ruby release their new six-track digital EP, Press On.
This digital release features two original new tracks, “I Hope You’re Well” and “Taking Memories,” and a new version of “Never Surrender” (previously available as an iTunes bonus track), mixed by legendary producer/engineer, Ed Stasium. These three tunes are presented alongside live versions of “The Here And The Now,” “This I Know” and “Heaven’s My Home” recorded at NPR’s Woodsongs Old-Time Radio Hour.
“The songs coincidentally fit so well together,” states Ruby. “The lyrics encourage the listener to take the good from the bad and keep pressing on. Life and relationships can be really hard, but we seek and hope to find a blessed gift in the end.” Sam & Ruby felt that their live performance set from NPR’s Woodsongs Old-Time Radio Hour was the perfect way to break down some of their songs acoustically from their debut album, The Here And The Now. “We wanted people to see the bare bones of where these songs came from --without the full sheen production--simply with lyrics, guitar and melody,” Ruby adds.
Grab your copy of Press On at iTunes and Amazon.

Sam & Ruby - #1 Album of the Year at AP!

The Associated Press announced their Top 10 Albums of 2009 today , and Sam & Ruby top the list at #1 with their Ryko debut, read more

The Associated Press announced their Top 10 Albums of 2009 today , and Sam & Ruby top the list at #1 with their Ryko debut, The Here and the Now.
Check out what it takes to be #1 below:
The Here and the Now, Sam and Ruby: This Nashville duo has been deemed exotic because of their ethnicity — she's a black woman from Ghana, he's a white dude from Wisconsin. But their blend of acoustic folk, country and soul sounds homespun, as though they've been making music together for a lifetime. And they've reached near-perfection with this CD.
Sam & Ruby are among great company; the rest of the AP's Top 10 list includes Norah Jones, Mariah Carey, and Jay Z, just to name a few. The full list is here .
