Made in the E.U. Jools & Ruby is a unique collection of collaborations between the boogie-woogie master Jools Holland and the UK's queen of soul Ruby Turner. Featuring a selection of the duo's personal favourites and crowd-pleasers, including four new recordings, Jools & Ruby was released on Friday 4th December 2015. The album features a number of new recordings including Peace In The Valley and Same Old Heart plus brand new compositions Pray Have Mercy, co-written by Jools & Ruby, and Christmas Song with the music written by Jools to accompany the poem by Wendy Cope. Additional tracks include airwaves favourites The Informer, Jumpin' In The Morning, and This Train. Jools Holland and Ruby Turner first met 22 years ago when Jools was looking for singers to join his big band. Ruby's incredible voice matched her big personality and the two soon became dear friends. Describing Ruby as the sister he never had, Jools even invited the singer to perform at his wedding. The duo have gone on to write and record music together and travelled the world with tours alongside the much-loved Rhythm & Blues Orchestra.
