Ruth Minnikin and Her Bandwagon
Depend On This
(Songmill Music)
****
I’m not entirely sure anyone is surprised to find Ruth Minnikin has released another spectacular album. Despite ‘Depend on This’ being released in digital formats (CDs, mp3s) and 12″ vinyl, it is made quite clear that the album was made with vinyl in mind. ‘Side One’ consists of six songs all geared heavily toward a folk sound while ‘Side Two’ consists of the very same six songs, though they are heavier and, at times, nearly electronic. The twang of banjos and guitars and the wail of the pedal steel are persistent on both sides, as is Minnikin’s should-be iconic voice, giving this a real hoedown feel to it. That said, the album isn’t gimmicky in the slightest and has a natural feel to it that only a veteran folk star can pull off.
