Songwriter, Photographer, Writer -Pamela Ruby Russell

WALK THRU FIRE (Live Performance)

In the late '90's while active with the international songwriters' group, JP Folks, I organized a showcase in Boston. With hard work we had 25 great performers at a local venue, well-known acts alongside "unknowns"... all equal & respected in each other's eyes. This live version was later recorde on my HIGHWAY DREAMS album. With meon vocals, Steve Terry-Classical guitar, Binney Stone-Acoustic & Paul Sedgewick-Didgjeridu. Enjoy!

Darlings, I welcome you to my world! There's Lots To Explore

HERE WE GO! ARE YOU READY?

Hello! Housekeeping first. Lots of reading here.

Okay! My songs are available for sales at: Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Soundcloud, YouTube and all other worldwide online music sales venues. My photographs are all over this website! And for you "music heavies" who happen to find me, I am beginning to use DISCO.ac for those awesome song licensing and sync placement opportunities I am yearning for.

Meanwhile, enjoy my Blog and verbose writings here on this site. Just remember, as I share with you two of my most beloved mantras... "She meant well" and "There are no strangers!!"

To introduce yourself to my music, please take a listen to my "HIGHWAY OF DREAMS" the album, with 10 songs from my heart to yours. I hope you find them as special as I did when I was creating them!! Musicians from 9 different countries have contributed their hearts and souls to this album. Co-produced by Peter Calo, musical director and guitarist for Carly Simon and other equally brilliant and creative artists, the musicality and perfection of recording still blows my mind. Thank you Bob Patton at Thin Ice Studio as well.

And check out "SPACE AMD TIME, a cumulative creation with my Angel producer, Mario Gil and me, along with some wonderful players, including the late Annemarie Wiesner, violin virtuoso from Switzerland and Brooklyn, NY. It was originally recorded with the excellent engineer and now LA music attorney, Gail Perry at the board. There's a mystery lady there as well, playing bagpipes! Very cool.

HERE WE GO! ARE YOU READY?

(CONT'D)

"LOVE'S CALLING" was cowritten and recorded with my dear friend and early bandmate, Richard Viard on guitars and keys. This is a slight remastering of the son.g, I love it so much I wanted to feature it on this website. Enjoy!

There is also a video of me performing "WALK THRU FIRE," live with, get this, a didjeridoo player and two master guitarists. This videos is an early live version of the 9th song on my "HIGHWAY OF DREAMS" album. The song was originally recorded at Purple Mountain Studio with Rick Nichols at the board, and then remixed at Thin Ice Studio in North Andover, MA.

My new releases are happening (YEAH!) in the next few months, beginning with THERE ARE NO STRANGERS, cowritten with the musically masterful Martin Sutton of The Songwriting Academy, which I have had the honor to attend for the past few years.

Our release date is: MAY 16th, 2024!

Needless to say, since today is heading into the end of April... I am barely meeting my deadlines, but wanted to get this all on my website for you... and for my peace of mind!

MAY 20th: YES IT IS RELEASED TO RAVE REVIEWS NOW! Woo Woo!!!! I just put the Song Video onto this site, so I hope you watch it and enjoy!

Please, keep checking in and subscribe for more news.

Thank you!

COMMENTS & PRAISE ~ PAMELA'S ARTISTRY

"It's not in the box!!! It's on the rack with Annie Lenox, Cyndi Lauper, Joss and Jennifer Marks, where it belongs. A great talent for many decades and still growing and creating."(Gordon Meltzer - Sir Miles Davis' last road & personal manager, on Ms. Ruby's Highway of Dreams album.)

“...nous sommes toujours admiratifs devant ton originalité la photo est superbe.” (Gerard Viard -Oscar winning film set designer, France)

FABULOUS: I tried to send you a chat, but it wouldn't go through.! What a great job Pammie!! XXX (Sharon Vaughn - Iconic songwriter, actress and producer)

Nice Work Ruby! That is one catchy melody. It really stays with you. (Tommy Megan, winner of coveted Richard Rogers Award - American Academy of Arts and Letters. About "Love's Calling.")

“CONGRATULATIONS! It's a very beautiful picture and an incredible point of view!” (Antonia C -Reporter for “La Republicca” newspaper, Como, Italy)

“...The aforementioned “Avenue of Tears” is this album’s [HIGHWAY OF DREAMS] finest moment, with rich harmonies accenting the melancholy chords. Russell actually wrote this song [after singing] on top of a Mayan temple at 12 AM years ago, and unsurprisingly, it’s the best vocal delivery on the album. (Andre Salles - Meeting People Is Easy Part 2)

“They are the most beautiful photos...” (Dev Ehrenberg - The late brilliant cover artist and cartoonist of New Yorker Magazine)

WOW! Love this arrangement, listened just once and I can sing the chorus… very catchy, a song that stays in your head. Lovely voice Pamela, just lovely. Congratulations! (DEBRA BOUCHER - Graphic artist commenting after designing the cover of new single! And listening to a pre-release of 'THERE ARE NO STRANGERS!')

“Her photos and music are journeys, doorways if you will, into Pamela Ruby Russell's technicolor dreams. Exotic, lush, intimate, passionate & fun! …a joy to experience, from beginning to end." (Mark Baxter - Master Vocal Coach)

" I love your voice! And congratulations on a wonderful song and video – I totally know what it means to make a music video on a shoe string budget." A kind message. (Emily Barker - Respected Recording Artist, West Australia)

THE BEGINNINGS

WHO IS PAMELA THE ARTIST?

COMMENTS & PRAISE ~ PAMELA'S ARTISTRY

"The Beginnings" of my website... my first "UPDATE", occurred during the "TIME OF COVID," an era we might want to forget. Yes, it was a terrible time, but a great many people dug in and became very creative. I was feeling a little nostalgic, the homey cocoon I had crawled into, and I hadn't posted much at all on my website for a long while. Now it is time to move forward and shine... think positive and sing about what I am grateful for.

So if you are interested in WHERE SHE AROSE FROM... Here we go!

HERSTORY: (The wayback machine bit... )

"Wooo Woo! I'm publishing this website at this time, 7:43 PM EDT, May 30th, 2020, with a lovely glass of Martinique rhum and a smile, along with the guidance of my brilliant and highly respected astrologer, Eric Linter. (Read his Daily Astrology Forecast Updates on Facebook EVERY DAY at around 5:00 PM EDT (EST) PM Boston Time, USA! He is so right on!)

AND FORWARD INTO:

Here we are in "The Present" again! I just did some time travel!

STARMAN ERIC hasn't missed a day posting his Daily Forecasts on Facebook in all these years. Enjoy!

You will be hearing more from me... so keep in touch my lovelies. Oooh This is fun! My best regards to you all! Let's stay healthy and remember to tell our Beloveds how much they mean to us."

WHO IS PAMELA THE ARTIST?

BIO: PAMELA RUBY RUSSELL (ASCAP)

PLEASE NOTE: FULL LENGTH BIO IN THE PORTFOLIO SECTION IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW ALL THE NITTY GRITTY!!! Ms. Ruby's been around for a long time!

🌺This award-winning artist is about joy. Happily, she is releasing new songs this year, beginning in mid-May.

Ms. Ruby's performed & recorded with her duo and bands, studied voice with Mark Baxter, as well as attended music training for piano, writing & acting. Pianist Keith Jarrett invited her to his seminar 'On Spontaneity’ decades ago where, as a beginning pianist studying jazz theory, she played for him. He told the group of 25 seminar attendees, "The least proficient player has just played the most profound music!" Honing her musical skills fed her other big love, the camera. Her first mentor was the NYC based photographer, Myron Ehrenberg. He taught her "how to see.." The seed of an artist grew as she sought honesty and truth in her pursuit of her medium.

🌺President of her town’s TV Access station & former Vice Chair of the local Democratic Comm., in college she organized a Vietnam War protest in the 70s, was school photographer & exhibited her 'As The River Flows So Flows the Man,’ a photo exposé of Hudson River polluters. An actress as well, Pamela was active in college theater, acting in 'Chamber Music' as Pearl White, & Giraudoux’s 'The Madwoman of Chaillot,' quite appropriate for a wild woman with a film up her sleeves! She’s been in several successful films recently with speaking parts and is listed on IMDb.

🌺Riding an elephant in a Mexican circus, singing on the Temple of Quetzalcóatl at the Pyramids in Teotihuacán, Mexico at midnight, she wrote her 'Avenue of Tears’ song. Reading Tarot cards in a Mexican cafe she learned enough Spanish to write 'Tengo Razón.' Traveling, making new friends, cooking a meal, there’s always a camera of sorts on hand & notebooks near by. Her fine art photos & songs bring joy to her clients and fans.

🌺"We're not strangers. I truly believe there are no strangers... Creating healing art & beauty is my work. Life's short. We're not always dealt easy hands. It's the playing of tough cards with forgiveness, love & wisdom that moves us through time in profound, meaningful ways. What I've learned I share! That's why I sing!" Pamela's dedicated her energy to joy! Thank you.
