Sam & Ruby's debut album now available

The Here and The Now - Sam & Ruby

This past week Sam & Ruby's debut album, The Here and The Now, became available everywhere. Sam & Ruby's new album are doing so well that they've captured the attention of NPR's Tell Me More, AP, and are going to be on the PBS series Legends & Lyrics.

Here's what's been said about the duo:

You get a sense of life... every little piece adds to the greatness of the bigger picture... never leave you wanting more except for more of Sam & Ruby themselves" - Beyond Race

These self-professed "musical soul-mates" certainly make a one-of-a-kind pair. Their song "Heaven’s My Home"(featured in the film The Secret Life of Bees) stitches together folk, soul and a pinch of country in an effortlessly unique, ear-catching way. " - Nashville Tennessean

And here's what's being said about the album:

The project has a flair and style that's vibrant and fresh, quite different from almost anything else on the market." - Ron Wynn from the Nashville City Paper

The album will never leave you wanting more except for more of Sam & Ruby themselves." -Lunice Ward from Beyond Race
