Album Of The Week

"Ruby Lovett is pure country, she is heir to a tradition of women with drawls and spunk, she is funny, unaffected, and unabashedly traditional in outlook, the combination makes both her singing and her presence extraordinarily appealing, the fact that such appeal is tied to a beautifully one of a kind voice is all the better, her music is as real as she is, full of honest emotion and real life situations, sung with unaffected grace and power, to hear her sing is to witness the flowering of a life and musical approach that began with a childhood in Laurel, Mississippi."

- Kenneth Bremer / Blue Desert -

"At one point Ruby Lovett sings 'I'm just beginning to stand up straight, turning my face to the sun', and this album reflects the warmth."

- Mike Davies / Fatea Magazine -

"Roby Lovett's 'It's A Heard Life is musically strong and full of courage and grit and real emotion, and there may be hard times in life, but sometimes there is music to sooth the soul too."

- Stephen Rapid / Lonesome Highway -

"Sadly I doubt Ruby Lovett will ever get to grace the AMA’s, CMA’s or Grammy’s stages for her music, which is where our industry falls down, but I assure you that everyone who ever buys 'It's A Hard Life' will cherish like the family jewels and will whisper its beauty to only the trusted few in their circle, and these songs will never be allowed to die."

- Alan Harrison / The Rocking Magpie -

"This is americana with roots in real country music."

- Patrick Van De Wiele / Keys & Chords -

"Tennessee based singer songwriter Ruby Lovett delivers pure, authentic and honest country songs on her 2nd full length CD, 'It’s A Hard Life', and every listener will very soon notice that the emotions which she is putting in her songs are true and are coming straight from her heart.”

- Valére Sampermans / Rootstime -
