RUF1061	ALLISON, BERNARD	HANG ON!	16.02.02	One of the earliest Bernard Allison albums, recorded in 1992 and reissued in late 2001 (unfortunately complete with its original tacky cover art), is a middling effort from a talented bluesman who hadn't found his niche. Recorded live in the studio with his dad Luther's band in Paris, where they were living at the time; w/Luther Allison - Vocals

RUF1008	ALLISON, LUTHER	Where Have You Been? Live in Montreux 1976-1994	29.03.99	This CD features the exciting blues guitarist/singer Luther Allison on selections taken from four appearances at the Montreux Jazz Festival. Although the title says 1974-94, the earliest numbers are actually from 1976, and these are the most memorable cuts on the CD. 13 Tracks - 80min
RUF1042	ALLISON, LUTHER	LIVE IN CHICAGO	10.07.99	2-CD: Original Release 1999 CD Alligator 4869; Disc one is the Chicago Blues Festival in its entirety with a bonus track of Luther jamming on the finale with Otis Rush and Eddie C. Campbell on a medley of two B.B. King tunes. Disc two is equally potent, a combination of performances pulled from Buddy Guy's Legends club and the Zoo Bar in Lincoln, NE.
RUF3001	ALLISON, LUTHER	LIVE IN PARADISE	15.09.02	DVD: Stereo, 5.1, SS, DVD Sides 1, 18 Tracks
RUF1059	ALLISON, LUTHER	LIVE IN PARIS	20.01.01	"Live in Paris" was recorded in the late '70s(1979), shortly before Luther Allison decided to leave America for France because the U.S. blues scene was faltering. And, as Live in Paris attests, Allison was at his best when he played straight blues with a bit of a wild, electric edge.
RUF1036	BIBB, ERIC	HOME TO ME	27.07.99	"Home to Me" is the forth U.S. release from acoustic roots chameleon Eric Bibb. These 13 tracks, the majority penned by Bibbs, encompass his deep musical debt to folk (maintaining a healthy dose of his early Woody Guthrie influence), soul (a respectful cover of Sam Cooke's "Bring It on Home to Me"), and gospel, underscored by a consistent blues base, not unlike the first Keb Mo disc
RUF1048	BIBB, ERIC	ROADWORKS	13.04.00
RUF1071	BIBB, ERIC	PAINTING SIGNS	22.09.01	w/Wilson Pickett - Vocals/ Hans Theessink - Mandolin/ Chuck Anthony - Guitar/&

RUF1040	CANNED HEAT	CANNED HEAT BLUES BAND	04.04.99	Canned Heat founder and guitar great Bob Hite once described his band as "a rock band with country/blues roots," and perhaps a little less modestly, "the first and greatest boogie band ever."; Original Release 1998 CD A&M 161416
RUF1066	CANNED HEAT	FRIENDS IN THE CAN	02.03.03

RUF1025	CROCE, A.J.	A.J. CROCE	29.03.99	A.J. Croce's eponymous debut showcases his flair for low-key, atmospheric blues. As a performer, he's surprisingly confident and assured. Original Release CD Private Music 82108
RUF1023	CROCE, A.J.	FIT TO SERVE	29.03.99	w/David Curtis - Bass & Paul Kimbarow - Drums
RUF1011	FRIEND 'N FELLOW	HOME	29.03.99
RUF1029	FRIEND 'N FELLOW	PURPLE ROSE	29.03.99	Friend 'n Fellow lyricist/vocalist Constanze Friend and composer Thomas Fellow pay tribute to the spirit of the late Luther Allison with a selection of mostly original pieces, although there are a couple of rock covers in Bob Dylan's "Forever Young" and Steve Miller's "Fly like an Eagle." The ensemble's instrumentation is mostly acoustic highlighted by the organ and drum work of brothers Mathias and Alexander Betzel, respectively and the music often roams the middle ground between jazz and blues.
RUF1072	FRIEND'N FELLOW	TAXI	21.10.01
RUF1078	GARNER, LARRY	EMBARRASSMENT TO THE BLUES?	05.09.02	w/Christian Dozzler - Harmonica, Keyboards, Vocals

RUF1007	GROSVENOR, LUTHER	FLOODGATES	29.03.99	BLUES-ROCK: Luther Grovesnor's second solo album was a long time coming. The first, back in 1972, caught him midway between stints with Spooky Tooth and, in the guise of glam rock hooligan Ariel Bender, Mott the Hoople.

RUF1039	HUNTER, JAMES	KICK IT AROUND	07.06.99	Damian Hand - Sax (Tenor)/ Nick Lunt - Sax (Baritone)/ James Hunter - Guitar, Vocals/ Preston "Peppy" Prince - Drums; True, this record is very derivative of late-'50s R&B on the verge of soul

RUF1045	LYNN, TRUDY	I DON'T KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS	16.03.00	Trudy Lynn's pipes are in good shape and the material, including three Robert Johnson songs, is strong; Lucky Peterson plays a multitude of instruments(big, old B3 organ), Bernard Allison and Butch Bonner are on time every time on guitars, and James Robertson's understated drumming never misses a beat.
RUF1009	MAHAL, TAJ	Evening of Acoustic Music	03.11.96	Taj live solo, this recording, cut during an appearance in Germany, is what you've been waiting for, 15 Racks w/Howard Johnson - Tuba, Penny Whistle
RUF1073	MILES, BUDDY	BLUES BERRIES	18.04.02	Recorded in Texas in 2000, Blues Berries is primarily an album of blues-rock with soul and funk references; Buddy Miles - Drums, Vocals/ Chris Layton - Drums/ Tommy Shannon - Bass/ Robert Ware - Bass

RUF1015	MOONEY, JOHN	Dealing With The Devil	10.02.98	Known for the passionate assault he commits upon his guitar when he plays, this disc is him playing acoustically by himself in a live setting, and he is every bit as alive and dynamic here as with a full band; 13 Tracks
RUF1079	NIGHTHAWKS	LIVE TONIGHT	05.09.02	In 2002, the Nighthawks celebrated their 30th anniversary; 11 Tracks, The gritty blues-rockers always sound inspired; that is true whether they are turning their attention to Howlin' Wolf's "Who'll Be the Next One" or Muddy Waters' "Still a Fool."

RUF1065	PALADINS	PALVOLINE 7	31.05.01	By Dave Gonzales' yearning, scruffy vocals and slashing guitar, the Paladins, churn out another potent mix of boozy rockabilly, country, and blues which makes an adequate keepsake of their legendary, sweaty live shows.
Ruf 1034	PALADINS	SLIPPIN' IN	13.07.99	"Slippin' In' marks a return to the predominantly rockabilly sound of the Paladins' first two albums, strongly recalling the early years of Sun Records, when the line between rock & roll and country could be blurred to varying degrees at any time

RUF1063	POPOVIC, ANA	HUSH!	18.01.01	Born and raised in Yugoslavia, Ana Popovic would seem to have been brought up in an unusual area to soak in the deep soul, robust swamp rock, and husky R&B she reveals on her first album, w/Bernard Allison - Performer

RUF1038	STAVIN' CHAIN	STAVIN' CHAIN	04.11.99	There is a good bit of quality slide and Dobro guitar playing, and there are even a couple of tunes on which the producer of the disc, John Mooney, contributes his extraordinary guitar playing. This is the music of the Delta region as sifted through the New Orleans melting pot. The group is comprised of Grayson Capps and John Lawrence, and their sound is fleshed out by an assortment of other musicians on this disc
