Claudia Russell's second CD, Ready to Receive is now available on Radio Rhythm Records. Russell's first CD, Song Food, released in 2000, gained play on more than 150 radio stations across North America, Europe and Australia and earned her Best New Artist honors from WUMB-FM in Boston.

In a review by nationally syndicated DJ Rich Warren, Sing Out magazine says "Ready to Receive is a professional work of strong musicality delivered by a voice superior to most in the crowded field of singer-songwriters." In fact, the CD made the Folk DJ Top 10 list.

Ready To Receive was produced by Russell and her husband/partner, Bruce Kaplan. It features seven new original songs by Russell, as well as six inventive interpretations of songs by writers such as Kyle Johnson, Lori B., Jeff Talmadge, Ted Waterhouse and Bob Dylan.

Like Song Food, Ready To Receive is eclectic. Fans of Song Food will find the familiar Russell themes of love, longing and loss, with Russell's expressive vocals right out front and her signature guitar
