Follow on Google News | Ruby James Teams Up With Kobe Bryant For CharityWhat does Ruby James, a Blues Rock singer with a sultry voice, and basketball legend Kobe Bryant have in common?
By: RULA PR Desert Rose is produced by John Avila of Oingo Boingo, who was drawn to Ruby James' sultry voice and powerful talent and recorded the album with her in his Los Angeles studio. James elegantly fuses rock and Americana with lyrics that explore love, loss and the lure of the road. Ruby will perform live on stage on the night with an ensemble of talented musicians including John Avila (Oingo Boingo and Reel Big Fish), Rene Reyes (Act of Faith, Soundtracks for Collateral, Man in the Chair), Mike Bolger (Jewel, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ry Cooder ) William V Malpede ( Composer Texas Chainsaw Massacre) ,Shaun Tomczak ( Filmtracks for On the End of the Line and Red) Clint Short (Lapdog, Jon Geiger, The Abstract Sound). . Hollywood has also taken notice of Ruby's talent. She completed a deal which will place one of the tracks from the album, "Everything Good Goes Away," into a major studio film. Produced by Mick Jagger, "The Women" is a remake of the 1939 classic, starring an ensemble cast including Bette Midler and Meg Ryan. In the song she poignantly reminds us that "Everything Good Goes Away" except real, true, soul-defining love. "The Women" will be released in October 2008. Independent, determined and savvy, Ms James already had years of practical experience under her guitar strap, writing and performing solo acoustic. She is currently working with Charlie Sexton (Bob Dylan, The Arc Angels, and The Sextones) and brother Will Sexton (Waylon Jennings, Dave Baerwald and Abra Moore), who bring their legendary classic sound to the innovative talent of Ruby James both as producers and performers in a sophomore album to be released at the end of 2008. AWAL has just signed a deal to distribute "Desert Rose," releasing to the public on April 22nd, 2008. AWAL, based out of the UK was started by Paul Bower who was one of the original developers of ITUNES. After her hectic schedule touring on the road since 2006 and releasing “Desert Rose,” Ruby James reflects; "I'm grateful for all the grassroots support I've received from friends, family and fans and believe that you should keep doing what you love and what's meaningful to you. After I discovered the miracle behind the inception of St. Jude and learning how they strive to make miracles happen every day for sick children and their families, I knew I had found something meaningful to me that I could make a difference for with my music career."
