The Quiet Is Too Loud — Ruby Grace | 1950s Blues Soul

Some silences are louder than anything. This recording was found among a collection of unmarked tapes from a Detroit studio, believed to be from around 1956. Ruby Grace recorded this session alone on a Sunday evening. The engineer said she asked him to turn off the studio monitors between takes. She said the silence in the room was already enough. This is a song about the loneliness that lives in sound. Not the darkness. Not the empty chair. The sound of nothing where a voice used to be. She turns the radio up. It only makes it worse. "The Quiet Is Too Loud" — Lost Soul Tapes 💿 Stay till the last note. It might explain why some nights feel louder than others. #bluesmusic #1950sblues #soulsoul #vintageblues #lostmusic #50sblues #detroitblues #rubygrace #loneliness #deepblues
