Potent Americana; a unique voice and down-to-the-bone songs combined with the sounds of some of the finest musicians you've ever heard.
Ron Rutherford is a man whose life has been built around music. He fondly recalls bouncing on the back seat of his Father's Chevy Bel Air to The Beatles singing "I Want To Hold Your Hand" on the radio. "It was a typically beautiful Dallas, Texas day," he says, "blue skies and fair weather cumulus clouds out the windshield as we sped down the highway." It proved to be a seminal ride. He has been inspired by and passionate about music ever since. Ron played piano as a kid in Texas. Moving to New York City as a young man, he took up guitar. While living in New York, he played and sang around Manhattan and the Northeast; did some television and jingle work; was written up in the New York Times for his performances with The Rutherford & Steward Band; and wrote and performed briefly with legendary rock pianist Nicky Hopkins. Ron Rutherford's musical influences are eclectic and diverse including such artists as: The Eagles, Don Henley, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Neil Young, Jackson Browne, Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band, The Steve Miller Band, Van Morrison, Rodney Crowell, Buddy Holly, The Everly Brothers, The Beatles, The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, The Band, The Allman Brothers, Creedence, Little Feat, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Elvis Costello, Traffic, Leon Russell, Bryan Adams, John Mellencamp, Warren Zevon and Hank Williams. Although growing up listening to and loving Rock and Roll on the radio and records, he had country music in his ears wherever he went, just from living in Texas - and both had a profound impact on him. Ron Rutherford's music is something familiar you've never heard before - stories of love, loss, insight, and inspiration. Picture a full moon over a long lost trail and a lone wolf that beckons the listener to follow to the end. Ron Rutherford's album, Lone Wolf, ends too soon. Potent ; a unique voice and down-to-the-bone songs combined with the sounds of some of the finest musicians you've ever heard.

Lyrics
This Is True © Ron Rutherford & Rarestar Music (ASCAP) Verse 1 I’m on my way But I’m never sailing through If I’ve learned anything It’s been by way of the hard luck school And when I smile You can see I’ve paid my dues The many miles written on my face The solemn stare of a transformed fool Chorus 1 This is to show What I know To be real That I feel There is old There is new There’s a future to dream into So I can say everyday I put on shoes This is true Verse 2 I’ve got time If I manage it well To give everything Conjure a crystal ball to foretell And when I laugh You can see the real me Leaving a living hell Heading to the serenity sea Chorus 2 This is to show What I know To be real That I feel There is crazy There is sane There are tough times still there is gain So I can safely say, I’m OK To get close to This is true Verse 3 And in this place Or anywhere I’ve been I’m standing for the thing That calls my name on a prevailing wind And as I live With the tides that wax and wane Still I’m on a steady course Call my ship the spirit of play Chorus 3 This is to show What I know To be real That I feel There are stars In the night Even in darkness There’s a guiding light So I can state, I’ll navigate My way through This is true Chorus 4 - Out There is sunshine Through the rain Clouds with a window pane And with that said, I’ll make my bed With a rainbow view This is true This is true This is true This is true
