If you keep your ear to the ground, eventually, a pleasant rumble offers up a warning of great things to come....
Don Ryan is the real deal.... the music is dark and jangly and he has a great voice. The lyrics are complex and at times humorous. This is a brand new take on old music, and this young man from the New York/New Jersey area owns it.
Since I have been writing this blog and presenting Bands of the Week - such incredibly talented artists have come to my attention that I no longer worry when someone asks me to listen to their music. I expect good even great music. Even with those new found expectations, Don Ryan's music still blew me away.
A frustrating aspect of blogging is that you often don't know who is reading what you write and who is listening to and enjoying the music you present. All I can do is strongly encourage you to take a few minutes and listen to and watch the video of This Town. You have nothing to lose and a chance to get in on the ground floor of a fantastic new talent.
On Facebook, Don Ryan's page and my shared "Likes" came up as Tom Waits, Nine Inch Nails and Leonard Cohen. Tom Waits came to my mind when I first heard This Town. You can check out the video below....
You can listen to his wickedly fun album Tangle Town right here:
