 I pulled out an old cd by Michael Ruff today ("Speaking in Melodies"). Mastered by the late, very great Doug Sax. The music is not really my cup but I wish more recordings "sounded" this good.

I didn't acquire Michael Ruff's Speaking In Melodies, until late 1994, when it was already was couple years old. Yup, as soon as we heard it, we wished that all studio recordings were of this high quality. Personally, I prefer Ruff's more uptempo numbers, such as "I Will Find You There." But others like his slower material.

Ruff has a song, "Cry On My Shoulder," from Bonnie Raitt's 1989 album, Nick Of Time.

 Jimmy Johnson (bass) , Michael Landau (guitar), Ralph Humphrey (drums). Not a bad group. Landau's solos are incredible. Oh yeah Cheryl Crow singing backup.
