Chimes After Midnight (CD)
Ruby Friedman
Amoeba Review
Ruby Friedman makes music for a more romantic, sepia-toned time. Her latest, Chimes After Midnight, is transportive, melancholic, and lovely. She's a rare talent, working in a genre space that sets her apart. Friedman's voice is smoky and melancholic, the voice of a 1920s chanteuse who's seen it all. Her songs tell tales of forgotten women...those who've been pushed aside, silenced, or simply lost to history. The hauntingly beautiful Chimes After Midnight will stay with you.
