Ruf Records

Ruf Records is a German Blues label that was launched in 1994 by Thomas Ruf. With its extensive catalog of blues music, the label has become a prominent figure in the industry. Known for its commitment to promoting and preserving the blues genre, Ruf Records has worked with some of the most talented *artists* in the business.

As one of Germany's leading independent record labels, Ruf Records has gained recognition worldwide for its high-quality releases and dedication to showcasing authentic blues music. The label's impressive roster includes both established *performers* and emerging talents, ensuring a diverse range of styles and sounds.

With two Label Codes - LC 1956 / LC 01956 - Ruf Records continues to make waves in the music industry. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the blues scene, this label offers an unparalleled selection of albums that will satisfy any discerning listener's craving for soulful tunes.

Since '66, when the British singer-songwriter emerged as the voice of his generation with the seminal Family band, through every twist of his four-decade solo career, Chappo's output has defied music industry protocol, challenged genre, and held up a mirror to the times. "I've never stopped writing," he reflects, "and with Life In The Pond, I felt the need to hear what I'd put down in music."

Life In The Pond draws a line under a period in which the 79-year-old had been absent from the studio but privately prolific. Twelve years since 2009's acclaimed rarities collection Hide Go Seek, "A true lionheart still roars," raved The Mirror, Life In The Pond reconnects the veteran with faces from his past – including ex-Family multi-instrumentalist John 'Poli' Palmer as co-writer and producer while taking the pulse of modern life. "Mostly it's anger at politicians that's kept me red up," says Chapman of the lyrics.
