Album Notes

Early reviews compare the 'Morning Glory' singles to the classic sounds of Traffic and Cream blended with the vibe of modern rockers The Black Keys and The Black Crowes.

Ruffin's sophomore effort is even juicier, even bluesier, even grittier than last time. Listening to this second go-round, one might think that the old soul on the front porch of that Mississippi delta shack found his inner Jimi Hendrix and ran with it.

Reviving an old blues sound and combining it with guitars and an electric grunge, Ruffin has created something unique that can only be described as American tradition with spontaneous flavor.

“Marshall Ruffin plays guitar and sings with the prowess that most roots and blues artists develop only after many weary years on the road.”
... Lisa Love, Georgia Music Hall of Fame

“This dude can really sing and play - to say that I was amazed by his songwriting talent, instrumental abilities and vocals would be an understatement.”
... Jeff Hahne, Music Editor, Creative Loafing Charlotte

“I rarely get inspired to say such things, but really - if you're able to see Marshall Ruffin 'live' then you really must. He is just f***ing amazing!”
... Geoff Achison, Blues Guitarist Extraordinaire
