[@uvcoach42]

Wow.! Just Wow Johnny would be proud!

[@bobwhaley5497]

Wow, when Ruthie does a cover I'm always astounded by what she brings to it. Another great one Ruthie.

[@TheKerplunks]

Ruthie, you are a FORCE! Wonderful. Thank you.

[@douglasvanaartsen6323]

I've always loved Johnny Cash's version of this song. But Ruthie Foster's version is now my favorite! I love this.

[@cynthiabrock1039]

[@joeblackburn1484]

Only a great heart can reproduce something like this! Incredible!

[@leeparks8672]

What a voice and guitar talent, beautiful ! Discovered on Austin City Limits.

[@floydwolverton2504]

Ruthie Foster came thru Denver a number of years ago with her friend Syd at an outside celebration and she was great. Still have a CD I bought that day. Love the way she makes an oldie a newie like this rendition of Ring of Fire!

[@ShowMe57]

So Good! Real Talent and Emotional Intelligence with this song!

[@StephanieSmith-gf4vp]

Puts on such a great show. I had no idea who she was (this was about 10 yrs ago) and she promptly blew us all out of the water. I[ve watched her counsel audiences that she must step along now, that the Headliner would like to play. Amazing woman!

[@buddyhendershot]

Wonderful!

[@susanvermeza1]

I'm blown away by the way this song sounds. It's beautiful. Amazing the way the whole feeling of the song changed with the different arrangement.

[@terrimyers3337]

WOW‼️ I love this version it touches a different part of the soul.

[@karenclark1859]

Heard her open for the Blind Boys of Alabama last night. Had never heard her sing before. Am on my knees to this artist's talent.

[@lordgamble1]

Thank you Criminal Minds for leading me to this lady and her music.

[@brandthacker8913]

Same, Season 10 ep 10!!!!! I always love gospel music, especially in O Brother Where Art Thou, so instantly had to find the source!

[@barbarakaten1682]

love, love, love Ruthie Foster. Her voice is beautiful. I am actually seeing her tonight at the Harris Center in Folsom, California and I am excited!

[@LilaMadrigali]

Covered in goosebumps. Omg sister, you are talented.

[@donaldrude3597]

Great voice. I could listen to her all day. ❤

[@katbyrd726]

Love, love, love Ruthie Foster!

[@cinders302]

Wow...what a cool take on this song. Geezus! Thanks

[@karenhaynes1]

Brings tears, thank God for allowing me to have that greatness, during my life..

[@talaibabao7302]

Wow. Just wow.

[@johnnyjensen6067]

[@TheCindiKaye]

Lovely. Thanks for posting. Saw her at the Dosey Doe.....love this...thanks.....makes me cry

[@jackedery9652]

Beautiful take on this song.

[@maysisem8600]

Fantastic arrangement with such a rich, textured voice. Foster is brilliant.

[@justinarmenta3599]

Blues on the waterfront Portland Oregon She had me from the first note

[@jimsoloway]

It's great to hear a stripped down version like this. It doesn't have the gloss of her album version but it's just as wonderful in own own way. Such a great artist.

[@johnanthony9313]

Just lovely. Such tone and hold on a lyric she paints with her voice in colours pale and deep. A real treat.

[@piotrbleszynski91]

Now i fell into Ring of Fire....thans to you Ruthie

[@bluzeblast]

Johnny Cash would be proud! Love that voice Ruthie Foster!

[@tyristori]

Pretty sure June is proud too.

[@edeckert1589]

since June wrote the lyrics ...

[@leond4994]

would he?

[@Escapades1957]

@@leond4994 I think he would love it. He had a very diverse appreciate of artists and their music. I think he would love this cover

[@Malarkeydo]

OMG what a voice.

[@markhendershot3734]

[@evedevi]

this is such a gorgeous version! Adore! Does anyone know the guitar chords here?

[@本多順一-x5b]

素晴らしいな。他に言葉がない

[@tomspoors2685]

Her vocal sounds like Roberta Flack on this one.

[@lordgamble1]

Yup. Very much so.

[@ClaimOfRightMuso]

Yes, Roberta Flack, that's what I got. Must say, Ms Foster has an absolutely splendid singing voice, doesn't overdo the 'why sing one note when you can sing twenty' style. Lovely and warm, round tones and great inflection and delivery: Natural! We simply don't hear enough of this professional and mature approach to singing these days: sigh..

[@thomasprice1760]

Tom Spoors flack was not playing guitar and keeping time...just saying...😊

[@telikaandfam]

she should do one of her songs

[@TheCindiKaye]

thanks

[@itumelengjunior7291]

I love you

[@krystleirvin6733]

😃♥️

All, at times, get too close to fire of any kind. I have my Sahara sands. No worries worries, snuff fire. Ko

[@randymann2392]

The only cover of this song that can top Ruthie's is by Ray Charles, whose version is very, very different than either the original or this one. It is positively erotic.

[@jeffreypowell4954]

This version challenges Johnny Cash's version!

[@edeckert1589]

listen also to Ray Charles' version

[@jimwright5723]

Beautiful voice. I don't care much for the arrangement of Ring of Fire, though.

[@TheCindiKaye]

Johnny Cash.......Ring of Fire....rearranged.

[@Atomic2998]

She reminds me of Whoopie Goldberg

[@sankstone]

I love Ruthie........sooo good...BUT...please don't sing fast country songs. Really ? Of all the songs in the world ?

[@sailinginsoup]

Effortless....

[@terryferan9028]

Say what? Infedelity?

[@fried_death4774]

She's immensely talented, but I hate what she did to this song.

[@tambrelipps8847]

I love it...Love IS a burning thing!! The lyrics deserve this interpretation.

[@homerrush6776]

[@chuckHart70]

??? You hate that she played it her style? Yeah I hate when people make something different, no matter how amazingly good it is. Cash always played it the same! (NOOOT) Go see Ruthie live... when you leave you will go home and pile all of your Cds (MP3 players) in your bbq and "let them burn". She is an amazing performer.

[@legionwalker6157]

chuckHart70 life

[@tyroneshoelace4872]

If she didn't like the melody of the song or the chords then why is she using the words. I mean, why not just play a different song? All the vocal gymnastics SO overdone and she has no idea of the actual melody of the song.
