with the backdrop for delta blues,being of god,devil,heaven,hell,etc. and the heavy sound and ever relevant content of many Sabbath songs this is a great version,I think Sabbath would be blown away by this.
daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanm! Sista has done an epic cover and done justice to one of my favorite metal bands Black Sabbath (the ozzy years of course) and one of the finest anti-war songs ever written (Geezer Butler the main songwriter and bassist for Black Sabbath is criminally underrated and shocking how he isn't sought out much to speak about his songwriting).
Fun fact. If you really listen to Ozzy Osbourne vocal styling he’s not really a metal vocalist. He’s more of a blues vocalist. War Pigs lends itself well too this genre because it’s original singer is more attuned to this style, despite Black Sabbath’s default genre.
Me too but mine started with Tedeschi Trucks Band covering Angel From Montgomery that led me to Bonnie Raitt and Ruthie Foster and on to this. Ruthie's voice is powerful and mind-blowing!
Damn,. .... really amazing; Fabulous presentation of this tune and it looses nothing, and gains an entire new landscape..well done..this CD is bought..
What cretin would ever down-vote this SUBLIME version of this truly outa this world woman, Ruthie Foster? Ruthie, your voice is beyond any heavenly words I could use to describe you. A million thanks!
Sweet Baby Jesus…..😳😳😳 I never thought I’d like a version of this song more than the original until today! Ruthie, you just earned a new lifelong fan!!
Just saw Ms Ruthie at the Infinity Music Hall in Norfolk, CT this past Sunday 4.23. I was blown away by her sheer talents - vocals and guitar playing were phenomenal!! One of the best artist's Ive seen in years. Between Ruthie and Gary Clark Jr the blues and blues/rock are in great hands. Rock On Ruthie!
And wonderfully, the underpinnings turn full circle! 'Cos ya clearly understand the song! Both the Blues & Black Sabbath must be felt emotionally - and understood mentally.
A good friend just introduced me to her. Wow! Love it. Love her guitar too. Very sweet sound. Like it a lot. Great blues cover of Black Sabbath’s war pigs 🐖
this is what I love about Black Sabbath-- you don't have to end up playing heavy music even when you've been influenced by them. because everybody has. plus I like how it also sounds like the Wizard
She has opened for other people, and she's had to beg the audience to let her go after multiple encores. If you get the chance, give yourself a major treat.

No one should EVER be able to make that song sound so different but as great! Gah! This woman has so much talent and a big voice. I love her.
I just found this version. Have you heard First Aid Kits version
This is an amazing cover.

"Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role for the poor, yeah"
It's still current today !

Just heard this on the radio and immediately had to Google who did it as soon as I walked in the door. Awesome.

Ruthie Foster I love you!!! Super chill version of this classic. What a voice!!!
This is actually REALLY impressive, I always seen Myself as a metal purist of sorts.But, this blew me away.
check out black sabbath's version from the 70's

Blues gave birth to rock and metal
WOW, what a voice!!! Found her through her performance with Bonnie Raitt on Austin City Limits. Great version of this song!
Me too but mine started with Tedeschi Trucks Band covering Angel From Montgomery that led me to Bonnie Raitt and Ruthie Foster and on to this. Ruthie's voice is powerful and mind-blowing!
How did that brilliance receive any down vote. The devil is back in blues. Almost danzig wirthy
This is by far the BEST version of this song, ever!

Nice boots!
Would love to see a live performance - she comes across as rich with soul/blues...
Heard a live set on 'mountain stage' radio show. Might be in their audio archives on website.
I heard Ruthie play just the beginning of it live after she had recorded it. She explained her connection to the song as well.
🤘
A woman of powerful dimensions.
Now that's da shit!
i was kinda expecting "lil pink houses for you & me!" & then "WOW!" GREAT COVER!!
I shouldn't work, so of course it does. sounds great!
