Our Take

Alright, lads and lasses, gather 'round because we've got quite the gem on our hands with the latest release from the one and only Ruth Brown. That's right, the Queen of R&B herself has blessed us with a collection of her singles and albums from 1949 to 1961, and let me tell you, it's an absolute belter.

From the moment you press play, you're transported back to the golden age of rhythm and blues, with Brown's powerhouse vocals commanding your attention and never letting go. Tracks like "So Long" and "Teardrops from My Eyes" showcase her raw talent and undeniable charisma, making it clear why she's considered a pioneer in the genre.

But it's not just Brown's vocals that shine on this collection – the musicianship on display is top-notch, with tight rhythms and killer horn sections that'll have you grooving from start to finish. And let's not forget those killer lyrics, which touch on everything from heartbreak to empowerment in a way that feels timeless and relevant.

So, do yourself a favour and give Queen of R&B: The Singles & Albums Collection 1949-61 a spin – trust me, you won't be disappointed. Ruth Brown may have been ruling the charts over 60 years ago, but her music still packs a punch that'll have you coming back for more. Cheers to the Queen!
