WHAT THEY ARE SAYING
“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, Director of Music Marketing & Development, GA Dept. of Economic Development

"The voice may be the same mix of honey and grits,
but everything else has changed. Marshall Ruffin, V2.0, has hurled forward and bitten
into punky blues/rock with a vengeance on this 40-min hydrogen bomb. Push 'play' and hang on tight!"
... HAL HOROWITZ, Morning Glory record review excerpt, Winter-2010 GA Music Magazine

“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

“Marshall Ruffin is evidently some genetic experiment
gone right, an amalgam of David Bromberg, Tom Waits and Leon Redbone.”
... CURTIS LYNCH, Playgrounds Magazine
“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, Australian Blues Guitarist Extraordinaire
