Miss Rhythm

Ruth Brown

Originally released in 1959, Miss Rhythm was the second album issued by Ruth Brown. Like its predecessor it was a collection of singles and flip sides Ruth had previously recorded, in this case between 1954 and 1959. Despite this it is possible to detect a growing maturity to her recordings and the development of an artist along the way.

The various singles that make up this particular album enjoyed some success when initially released, with two making the Top Ten of the R&B chart and a further two becoming Top Thirty hits. This was a period when Ruth Brown was one of the most successful R&B singers of the time, with her run of hits helping to establish Atlantic Records as a major force in the industry.
