The weekly read on Vermont's news views and culture
"Love the disc, very well done, some great backing talent, but what carries it for me is the writing, and your strong vocals! It will be getting some serious play. Thanks for sending your work, it's Great!" — Chris Darling, host of "Us Folk" on WMPG “I
think the thing that strikes me about your material is that it is not simply
written, but crafted, using not only the richness of the lyrics but also the
intricacies of the music to complement the songs.” — Wanda Fischer, host
of The Hudson River Sampler on WAMC "I love your CD. I'll listen to it over and over again, I'm sure. Very beautiful songs, real, well written complete and meaningful. I just love it. Congratulations." — Carol Abair, Burlington, Vt. “I love your CD, I love your CD!
It is so good! The first
time I listened to it I thought ‘yeah, that's okay,’ then the second time I
listened to it I thought ‘there's some good songs on here.’ I'm on to about the seventh listening right now and I'm
thinking ‘this is such a great CD!’ I just listened to ‘Dublin’ three
times in a row. Oh my god do I love that song.
The other ones that I love are ‘Old Lovers,’ I mean ‘Old Lovers’
is such a great song. ‘Bartender’
is really good, too. ‘Behind the Houses’ is really good. ‘Not That Man’
is really good, ‘Dublin’ is just excellent, and ‘George,’ who doesn't
like the song ‘George?’ But I
just wanted to let you know that I love your CD. It's fantastic!" —
Jamie Wakefield, Middlebury, Vt. “Richard Ruane has quietly emerged as one of
Vermont’s most versatile talents. He
combines exceptional vocal and multi-instrumental skills, and does it all
well.” — Jeff Miller, Burlington
Coffeehouse.
“His strong voice with compassionate lyrics
grabbed the audience throughout his performances.
A polished performer.” — Carol & Harvey Green, Middlebury
Festival on the Green and the After Dark Music Series. “Reminiscent of Richard Shindell in style and Pete Seeger in sincerity.” — Jack Honig, The Vermont Coffeehouse. "Your new CD is great. I never heard "Well-Meaning Folks With Guitars" before, and I think it is really good. How much do the CDs cost?? Love, Mom"
