Ruby Starr
My dad gave me a whole bunch of record albums... under the condition that I digitize his Ruby Starr and the Grey Ghost album. Needless to say I had never heard of her or the band, but after seeing a picture of Ms. Ruby Starr, I think I can see why he liked her.
Anyone give a link so I can hear the music?

On my, she has some kinda hair doesn't she?
Sorry, no linkage from moi.
She died of a brain tumor at the age of 44 in 1995..thats all I could find.
She sang back up with Black Oak Arkansas for several years, so you can probably look up their stuff.
I couldn't find anything from the sites I download from either except the info Bruce gave you.
is that a raccoon tail?

I know of Ruby and have alot of her music. So whatever did you do with the Albums? did you get them digitized?? She was the greatest, I have a Huge collection of her stuff. She was a wonderful person.
I first heard her on a Casper, WY radio station in 1977. I went out and bought "Smokey Places". I have been a fan ever since.
Here is prime time Rubby Starr.......http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=573809356
I remember seeing Black Oak Arkansas play in Waterloo IA in '76 or '77. The thing that I remember most about the show was Ruby coming out with a bright red sequined dress and a whole armload of roses. She was something to see. I was sorry to hear that she had passed away.
Weird. That's the album I sent out last week (2/08) to get put on CD. Did you get yours? It's an awesome album, can't wait to get it back. I haven't had a turntable to play it for 8 years. Hard to find info on Grey Ghost.... Tman
I have her Smokey Places album, it has a number of great songs and her singing on this album is much better than she ever was with Black Oak Arkansas. I'm still searching for her music as well. Found a reference to her on www.mp3.com/artist/ruby-starr/ & at: http://www.artistdirect.com/
I loved Ruby Starr. I was wondering if someone out there knew of her song, "Burning Whisky?" I have searched for this song for quite sometime and have had no luck finding it. RIP Beautiful Ruby.

Ruby Starr... what voice!! What a performer!! I would make it a point to see her perform whenever she was in the Chicago area. She is the person I use to rate other female singers. She was one of a kind and is sorely missed!!!!
I played in a band based in Toledo and watched her convert from a Brenda Lee sound alike to her own self as a hard rocker. She was a real talent...and is missed.

I guess I must be in some pretty tall cotton. I've got "Ruby Starr And Grey Ghost"; "Smokey Places"; And two copies of "Scene Stealer", all in class "A" vinyl. The Ruby & G.G. is still sealed. I'd sure like to lay my hands on CD's of all three, but I know you know how hard that is to pull off. If you could point me anywhere I'd sure appreciate it. Love the baby, and love her music.
