Rich Ruth x Lockeland Strings – “Blue Shell”

An absolute highlight from last year was Rich Ruth’s Water Still Flows. Already a piercing, sweeping blend of jazz, psych, and post-rock ruminations, the album’s second side standout “Blue Shell” gets a makeover today with the addition of Nashville’s Lockeland Strings. The community organization focuses on meshing the world of songwriters and classical music. Here, the ensemble adds an even more dramatic arc to the song, fleshing out Ruth’s original with swells and dark rivulets of tension. You can see a video of the session above and listen to the song on all streaming services today.
