Heartland is out now!

My 13-track album Heartland is in my store now!

Released 25th August 2023.

Ruth Nina Welsh is an English singer-songwriter, pianist and guitarist whose signature, haunting vocals are captivating listeners. Ruth’s powerful lyrics and acoustic mix of styles – blues, folk, country, up-tempo and ballads – are attracting fans of iconic singer-songwriters like Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, Carole King and Leonard Cohen.

Although Ruth is no longer well enough to play and perform, she is beginning to release her catalogue of studio songs and home recordings – which spans more than three decades – with newly commissioned artwork.

The thirteen tracks on this album were recorded at Lime Tree Studios in Norfolk, UK, during 1999-2001. The album artwork was painted by artist Tanya Gordeeva.

Reviews of Ruth Nina Welsh's Heartland:

“Ruth connects with people who have loved, lost love and remembered love, sung with passion and sometimes pain, played beautifully on acoustic guitar and piano. " (David Ackroyd)

"Heartland " the perfect title for songs that are truly from the heart... Songs from deep within the writer.. This long awaited cd was way beyond my expectations. The whole album is sublime, a true work of art.... It is beauty to the extreme, in its entirety..I cannot praise the album enough..” (William Simpson)

“Ruth's Best album so far. I love the whole album. Ruths ethereal vocals make the tracks seem so personal, it is impossible not to be drawn into the stories narrated in the wonderful lyrics and beautiful melodies. The album is a real treasure." (John Dyhouse)
