From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ruthie Mary Morris is the guitarist for the Atlanta, Georgia-based rock group Magnapop. Originally West Palm Beach, Florida, she transplanted herself to East Atlanta in the late 1980s, where she met Linda Hopper, a member of the Athens, Georgia scene in the late '70s and early '80s. The two became fast friends, and formed Magnapop in 1990. Ruthie has remained in all line-ups of the group since then. In 1996, Juliana Hatfield wrote the song "Ruthless" about her, and recorded it as a b-side to the single "My Sister" with the Juliana Hatfield Three.
After the 1996 release of Rubbing Doesn't Help, Magnapop found themselves dropped by their record label, and unable to record for seven years due to contractual obligations. In this time, Morris moved to Seattle, Washington. In 2004, she played with a one-off group with Curtis Hall, the New Candidates, and released the single "I'm Coming Down" on Mt. Fuji Records. In 2005, Magnapop released their first album in nine years, Mouthfeel, on the Amy Ray's Daemon Records. The re-formed group toured to support the record throughout the United States and the festival circuit in Europe.
