A big thank you to every person mentioned above who helped make this record possible. A huge thanks to Lee Caldwell for inspiration. Thanks to The LD, Stevie Sterling and Gene Jimmy Sterling for being the best ever.
A combination of influences that culminates in a sound that is unique and yet has a familiarity that is appealing. A guitar that can at times sound like three guitars and melodic vocals and harmonica that weave in and out of the guitar lines creating an intriguing sound that gains more depth with each subsequent listen. Ryan's latest album, Specks of Golden Dust is available via Half A Cow
