USA, FlavorPill, “Miami’s own peripatetic soul rebel and tropical troubadour — is simply a badass. With global influences ranging from Cuban son and Balkan music to reggae and mariachi ensembles, she weaves deft lyricism into a bluesy, authentically bohemian sound”
USA, GotFOLK.com, “If Edith Piaf , Lotte Lenya and Leon Redbone were Mormons (think polygamist, not evangelist), their first and foremost child would be Sol Ruiz, as she is both a vocal seductress and ingenue thrashing songwriter. Dressed in a Little Tramp, Charlie Chaplinesque outfit – summer-grass green trousers, a yellow t-shirt emblazoned with the slogan I Pee In Pools, black suspenders, and an honest-to-god Edgar G. Robinson bowler – she is a sight to see, a joy to hear, and her 2010 CD, titled OUTLANDER, is a wonder to behold.”
Miami, Sun-Sentinel, “Everything is fused with English and Spanish lyrics, fueled by personal experiences. The emotional outpouring is often funny, fun and expressive.”
Madrid, Contigo en la Distancia reports, “She gave me a feeling of discovery I thought I had forgotten. Sol unwraps, changes color, and gives the jam exactly what is needed.”
