“Coming off my last album, Up All Night – Deric Ruttan Live, it was important to me to keep that feeling of energy going on this studio album, and I guess as a result, Take The Week Off is
a little more aggressive and adventurous than past records of mine have
been,” says Ruttan. “But, it still has several of those more intimate,
reflective moments, where the band falls away and it’s primarily just my
voice and a guitar. I think on the whole, this is the strongest
collection of songs I’ve released. I’m looking forward to playing some
of these songs on the Your Town Throwdown tour with Chad Brownlee and Jason Blaine, as we make our way across the country this fall.”
