«"Angel Love" is mainly a Santana song - even though it's written by my
great friend Mason Ruffner, He's from New Orleans and I think he gives
it that real New Orleans feel. It's got the great jukebox feeling of
real American roots rock. It's a perfect jukebox single.»

«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.»

The above quotes from Bob Dylan and Carlos Santana are examples of the praise given to Mason Ruffner's Music. Mason has the ability to combine provocative lyrics with great music and is second to none at composing guitar instrumentals.
