"Ruth's seasoned voice that Willie Dixon once described as "the only hurricane I can appreciate" sings the blues from a female's perspective, sharing stories of joy, strength, heartache and friendship, peppered throughout with a mother's advice to all. Good Life's lyrics are personal incorporating counsel from her mother with her own life affirming credos. In fact, the whole album feels like a tribute to her mother and strong women".

"Good Life, her fifth album to date, maintains maximum velocity throughout, thanks to Ruth's robust delivery and a band that provides her with the thrust and finesse needed to ensure the material gets the energy and intensity they call for ... Given her stated influences Bessie Smith, Ella Fitzgerald, and Dinah Washington, it's easy to see where Ruth finds her inspiration. She emotes in a way that allows her searing, soulful tones to reflect a deeply rooted signature style".
