Ruthie Foster: The love affair between the genre-defying Texas singer/songwriter and the Twin Cities is so strong that she’s appearing here for two nights as she drops the new album, “Mileage.” It’s her first effort on Sun Records, the legendary label that was the early home of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison. Fittingly, Foster has offered a preview single, “That’s All Right,” the Arthur Crudup tune that Elvis turned into one of his first hits in 1954. Seventy years later, Foster’s treatment finds a swampy blues groove with gospel harmonies. That’s right in the zone for Foster, whose sound has been equal parts gospel, blues, soul and folk, with a dash of country.
