The Ruta Beggars, renowned for their distinctive blend of bluegrass storytelling, have just announced the release of their latest single, “Papa’s Got Ahold of The Wine.” This compelling track continues the band’s tradition of exploring dark narratives within the vibrant world of bluegrass music.
A hallmark theme of bluegrass music is the juxtaposition of somber tales with lively accompaniment, and “Papa’s Got Ahold of The Wine” is no exception. The song weaves a poignant tale of a father who, grappling with the loss of his wife, turns to alcohol for solace. The narrative unfolds through the perspective of the caregiving children, adding layers of emotion and depth to the composition.
In addition to “Papa’s Got Ahold of The Wine,” The Ruta Beggars present a diverse collection of tracks in their upcoming album, “Ever-Changing.” The album explores a range of themes, from love and heartbreak to fictitious yarns and nostalgic reminiscences.
The band takes a unique approach to the bluegrass tradition with tracks like “Red Carpet,” transforming the murder ballad trope into a “solve-it-yourself” mystery centered around a mother’s tragic suicide. “Hold Me Close,” “Pass You By,” and “The Way That You Loved Me” delve into the complexities of love, guiding the listener through a journey between heartbreak and heartfelt emotions.
The title track, “Ever-Changing Love,” celebrates the enduring nature of long-term companionship, akin to the love found in a devoted, life-long marriage. “Yodelin’ Yasmín” introduces a touch of fiction, narrating the story of a yodeling girl from Tennessee begged to sing by a charming barbershop trio. “I’ll Never Forget” rounds out the album with a poignant retelling of grandparents’ love stories, touching on the pain of memory loss.
Produced by the talented Justin Moses, “Ever-Changing” promises to deliver a bluegrass beat that invites listeners to dance through life’s trials. The Ruta Beggars have once again proven their prowess in combining intricate storytelling with the lively spirit of bluegrass music.
“Papa’s Got Ahold of The Wine” is set to captivate audiences with its heartfelt narrative and energetic musicality. The Ruta Beggars invite fans old and new to join them on this musical journey.
The song is now available on all streaming platforms.
