Discography
CD: Livin' This Way ©2007 Sense and Soul Productions
Brand new CD from the band, and our first one recorded with our current rhythm section, Paul Freeman (bass) and Hoto (drums). The album was recorded at Buckingham Palace in Vancouver, B.C., produced by award-winning, veteran producer, Bill Buckingham, and mastered by Dominique Brethes of Flow Mastering in London, UK. Darryl Havers and Bill Buckingham added to the sound with B3 Hammond, some funky clavinova and percussion.
Livin' This Way features nine original songs by Bradley/McGillivray, a blues re-make of "Tennessee Waltz", and a rendition of "Piece of My Heart" in which Tom Harrison of the Vancouver Province says Ruth "makes the song her own."

We could tell you about the album, or we could let Marke Andrews' 4-Star Review in The Vancouver Sun say it for us....
“Ruth McGillivray - River of Soul ****
Never judge a book, or a CD, by its cover. River of Soul, recorded in a Surrey studio, pictures vocalist Ruth McGillivray and guitarist Sheldon Bradley on the banks of a rural stream, and one expects a folk album. Who'da thunk we're in for an hour of full bodied R&B in the spirit of early Bonnie Raitt? Things get off to a great start with the get-down I See Purple, Bradley's (McGillivray's songwriting partner) guitar and Steve Soucy laying down a good groove. Jewelry Box makes a shuffle beat sound funky, while Starin' Down the Road has great acoustic slide guitar work from Bradley and a rousing vocal from the singer. McGillivray does her most soulful singing on I'm Leavin' , a slow blues delivered with great feeling, and Ain't Gonna Miss You, which begins quietly and ends with the house rocking.”
