Show # 95 - Desert Rose Revealed

[display_podcast]

It's always great to check back in with artists and bands that I've had the pleasure of featuring on The Big Break Music Podcast. Back in November 2006 I was told about singer/songwriter Ruby James and shortly thereafter got to interview and feature songs from her first EP called Sweet As Sin (episode # 49). At that time she talked about a new album she was working on with Will and Charlie Sexton in Austin, Texas.

Recently I was contacted by Ruby's manager to review her new album and was surprised to find that this CD is the result of an entirely new project. She and band member/songwriter Rene Reyes put together an entire album's worth of material over a three day period and quickly hit the studio to record what would soon become her first full-length album called Desert Rose.

So on today's episode I have an interview that was recorded just before she was scheduled to fly back to California to film a music video for the new album.

I also produced Ruby James' first live internet video performance of the new album on Ustream.tv. Click here to visit view a portion of the live show.

Another artist that is represented by Ruby's management is Shane Alexander, whom has also been interviewed and featured on this podcast (episode # 57). Shane's new album The Sky Below is slated for release on February 2oth, with a CD release party to be held at the famous Troubadour club in Hollywood, CA. The first track from that album is called Amsterdam.
