At 7 he ran all over the southern United States in tour with them. At that time someone gave him a guitar that he soon learned to tame! At 12 he joined a band called "Old Ship of Zion" and he recorded his first album. The young James had not only talent but was particularly versatile, he began to travel, every place a band, sometimes more than one! In Birmingham he joined "The Chosen Five Singers" an with them he’d been touring around United States. Then he came back in Mississippi where played with great artists such as Little Milton, BB King, Freddie King, Little Willy and many others.

Elin Ruth & The Beat From Palookaville - Christmas Is A Drag

Year: 2015
Bitrate: MP3@320K/s
Time: 36:58
Size: 86,1 MB
Styles: Soul, R&B
Scans: Full

1. Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis (6:16)
2. The More The Christmas, The Less The Love (3:52)
3. Christmas Is A Drag (2:40)
4. I Need Me Somebody (5:38)
5. Merry Christmas Baby (3:36)

7. Christmas Is Sooner Than You Think (2:56)
8. Everyday Will Be Like A Holiday (2:58)
9. Christmas Day (2:58)
10. Christmas In Prison (2:27)

It is not easy to interpret Tom Waits, and even harder to add something of your own. But that is exactly what Elin Ruth manages to do with "Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis. Even the flirtation with soul in "Christmas Is Sooner Than You Think", written by the musicians in the backing band The Beat From Palookaville, and John Prine's old "Christmas In Prison" are quite comfortable.

Elin Ruth's aim with the album was to do something different than the "mediocre and well-behaved" Christmas music that washes over us, and she manages with that. Swedish Christmas soul dressed in American 60's clothes have never sounded better than this.
