Rich Ruth – “Crying in the Trees”

A second single emerges from the upcoming Rich Ruth album today. The new record takes a darker turn, embracing drone and metal cues. That darkness clouds the new track “Crying in the Trees,” but it doesn’t blot out the band’s dynamic interplay. Ruth’s guitar growls, thunders, and looms like a tectonic force, but the band rises to meet him, as shown in this stunning live video for the track. The saw of strings, the scatter of vibes, and a deep sax burn are all on display. Spencer Cullum brings waves of steel to ride the storm, continuing the pair’s history of collaboration. The record is a monumental evolution of sound and its tempest is ably displayed on “Crying in the Trees.” The new record, Water Still Flows, is out June 21st from Third Man.
