Ruth Dolores Weiss is an Israeli musician and artist, currently residing in Austin, Texas, USA. She released her critically acclaimed debut album, "Come See (Raw Versions)," in 2004, which included songs in English and instrumental piano pieces (all but one of which were written and composed by Ruth), and immediately gained a loyal fan base who attended her shows and eagerly anticipated subsequent works.
After a long wait, Ruth will release an all-Hebrew album, called "Be'Ivrit" (Hebrew for "In Hebrew", appropriately), in September 2008. The new album was again mostly written and composed by Ruth, and will include her cover for "Mishirei Eretz Ahavati," (lyrics: Leah Goldberg, music: Dafna Eilat, originally performed by Hava Alberstein), which was released as a single at the beginning of 2008.
The same Blues atmosphere that characterized her first album ispresent here as well, but with an added shade of desert, hot and ripe. The album was arranged and produced by Ruth together with Yehu Yaron and Ofir Vander, who also play the double bass and keyboards, respectively, for this work.
