From houses of worship to houses of blues, Ruthie Foster has always been a rafter-rattler. And with a soul-filled voice honed in Texas churches, she can move audiences to tears or ecstasy — sometimes in a single song. Her last three albums, 2009’s The Truth According to Ruthie Foster, 2012’s Let It Burn and her latest, 2014’s Promise of a Brand New Day, moved the Recording Academy to deliver Best Blues Album Grammy nominations.
