Moss Center -- Cutler Bay, FL We’ve all been in need of some healing in recent times, and veteran blues artist Ruthie Foster’s latest album provides a guide for how to move through the world with equal parts compassion and resolve. “Healing Time” is a collection of songs possessing pure power, like a tidal wave of musical generosity. In this latest album, Foster pushes her boundaries as a singer and songwriter more than ever before. Creating a truly live-sounding atmosphere with the help of her band, the Ruthie Foster Band sounds refreshingly loose throughout these 12 songs.

“Healing Time”, whose creation began during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in 2020, is the latest jewel in Foster’s accomplished career, which includes multiple Grammy nominations and collaborations with fellow luminaries like Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks. With this album, Foster contributed more to the writing process than she had on previous albums, effectively refining her own songcraft in the process. With the contribution of her band members, Foster also enlisted previous collaborators like Gary Nicholson and Grace Pettis to enhance the songwriting and sound.

The title “Healing Time”—as well as its burst-of-sunshine title track, which features pedal steel legend Robert Randolph—is a reference not only to the trials many have faced over the last several years, but also to the necessity of what Foster does as an artist: to heal through her music.
