Singer-songwriter Ruby Friedman’s new Label 51 Recordings album, Chimes After Midnight, is a powerful collection dedicated to giving voice to "remarkable people who time will erase" and "invisible women" striving to be seen. The album features 10 new compositions, primarily penned or co-authored by Friedman and largely co-produced and arranged with multi-instrumentalist Ben Landsverk. Connie and Graham Yost (creator of hit shows like Slow Horses and Silo) serve as co-executive producers. Chimes After Midnight follows Friedman's critically acclaimed 2016 album Gem. In the interim, she released the Disney+ featured "Ain't Got Your Money" and the L.A. radio hit "Un4Given." Her song "Fire Down Below" was also featured on the trailer for the final season of Netflix's Peaky Blinders. The album masterfully blends historical narratives with contemporary relevance. "Honeystomach" explores the mysterious disappearance of 1950s singer-songwriter Connie Converse, reflecting Friedman's dedication to unsung female artists. "Music Row" uncovers the story of Civil War-era sex workers in Nashville, while "The Book Woman’s Daughter" highlights the Pack Horse Librarians of the Appalachians. Friedman also shares deeply personal tracks, including the "dystopian love song" "From the Storm" and "Friday Night Depression," which tackles sobriety. The album concludes with "The Mayor of North Hollywood Park," a poignant requiem for a friend lost to addiction and homelessness.
