  • Beautiful girl , Great talent . Wish I were 80 again
    author: P.F.Bronk

    This is a very tasteful,well executed recording . Sunday Kinda Love never has sounded better.

  • AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME VOICE!!!!
    author: East Benton Fiddlers

    Outstanding lyrics! The songs flow smoothly from one to the other even when the style of the music changes. This could only be accomplished by such a versatile female vocalist as Ruth with her unique voice and incredible vocal range. Basicly, it doesn't matter WHAT type of music she happens to be singing because anything and everything she sings sounds great!

  • Ruthy invites you into her room,thus you feel her heart
    author: Jim Wilgus

    This CD is not for light listening,it is a very emotional group of songs and are delivered beautifully by a very good performer.Ruth writes her songs about the trials of love and life,and they aren't always cheery and happy...just as true life .The players on this CD lovingly played and helped contribute to one of the best debuts that I have heard in many years.I can't wait to hear her next solo project. Ruth's voice is very similar to a very young Maria Muldaur,yet she brings so much more to her songs.Ruth is a very accomplished musician,playing ukuleles of many varieties as well as guitar on this collection.She is also an excellent fiddler,and I hope that she includes her fiddle work on her next CD.

  • Mezmorizing...... ahhhh.....

    This is an awsome CD.... Ruthy has such a beautiful voice and playes that fiddle and Uke like no other... I had to have this CD and would buy any other with the name Ruth Unger attached to it!

    Ruth has a gift of showcasing and framing each song rather than the singer. She sings I'm So Lonesome with such soul I swear she and not Hank W. wrote it !

  • Soulful
    author: Tory Gallery

    Ruthy has the most beautiful voice around!

    We saw you in Omaha last year and truly anticipated this cd. Love the renditions of some old favorites . . . and the outstanding musicianship throughout! You play a mean uke!!
