Praise for the 2014 release "Pomp and Circumstance":
More circumstance than pomp, Casey Ruff's new album is the sound of a barely contained urgency: a guilty conscience, another round, a finger in the face of The Man. This is your father's Alt-country if your dad is Stompin' Tom Connors or an unhinged Neil Young. It's a conservatively dressed elderly gentleman with a heroin jones and a raised .45. Like someone eloquently describing a house fire through a big 'ol grin - just telling it like they see it. Casey writes what he sees. When he sings "I was born in a bar", you can believe him.

Casey Ruff wears the familiar Americana garb like a denim suit that's a little too small for him. He's bustin' loose and marching onward. Happy graduation, Mr. Ruff.
