Label: Miles Away Records <a href="https://milesawayrecords.bandcamp.com/album/super-star">Super Star by Ruth Waters</a> A Texas native, Ruth “Silky” Waters was best known for her two disco-infused album’s “Never Gonna Be The Same” and “Out In The Open”- produced by the late, great John Davis (known for his incredible productions as John Davis Orchestra). It was however some of Ruth’s early material that caught our interest when we started the label as far back as 2018. “Super Star”, released on the tiny independent KMBA Recordings label in the late 1970s, draws from the wells of modern soul and gospel with a touch of cosmic goodness. An proper ear turner, it was like nothing we’d heard before. Flip it and “Super Star Pt.2” goes deeper into the cosmic essence of the track with extended guitar and synth solos making this a crackin’ little 45.
