This is a 'best of' collection from Ruffner's four studio recordings. If you are new to Mason's Music and want his best then this is the disc for you. This CD also includes a never before released gem called 'Midnight Dancer'! Here is a quote from Bob Dylan: «Ft. Worth guitarist and singer Mason Ruffner played in Bourbon Street clubs like the Old Absinthe Bar. He was a regional star, had a high pompadour, a gold tooth smile with a tiny guitar inlaid. He had a few records out and some explosive licks with funky edges, rockabilly tremolo-influenced, wrote songs, too, said that he'd hung around libraries reading Rimbaud and Baudelaire to get his language down. He also told me that as a teenager he had played with Memphis Slim. I thought I had something in common with him there. I'd played with Big Joe Williams when I was coming up. Mason had some fine songs. One of them had the line, 'You do good things for people and it just makes them bad'. I would have thought about recording it if I didn't have my own originals.
