Jools Holland ProfileBeside his 'day' job curating musical TV grab-bag Later..., Jools Holland also leads the brass-driven Rhythm & Blues Orchestra that indulges his roots in blues-into-rock stylings, with himself at the keyboard.
Ruby Turner is a fixture in the combo, a soul and blues belter. This compilation (with a handful of new tracks) places her front and centre, with smatterings of gospel — Get Away Jordan, Peace In The Valley — to boogie-woogie stompers like Jumpin' At The Jubilee. There's even the self-explanatory Christmas Song to encourage use as a stocking stuffer. Old school professionals, doing the business with enthusiasm.
