Episode 689: Ruthie Foster

Last month, Mileage scored Sun Records’ first-ever Grammy nomination. It’s hard to believe for a 72-year-old label that was once home to Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison and Johnny Cash. The album, Ruthie Foster’s latest, finds the musician reflecting on the ups and downs of a long career. It’s a journey that found Foster serving in the Navy, moving to New York and getting signed by a major label in the 90s, only to quit music to care for her mother back in Texas. It’s been a long road, but the singer won’t be slowing down any time soon. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
