I've certainly become a new Ryan fan. This is a recommended CD for your Lone Star collection, especially if you like that south Texas, Texican vibe. The CD possesses some clever lyrics and strong musicianship and singing. Southside of Heaven, Ghost of Travelin Jones and Long Way from Georgia are outstanding in my opinion.
5 new songs? i preordered the album and expected an actual album, not a couple new songs mixed in with a bunch of old ones. The songs are all great though.
I haven't heard much of Ryan Bingham until I bought this album. It is one of the best sounding albums I have heard. His 'gritty' voice and great songwriting put this album on top. These albums don't come around that often.
I was really excited for this album. I went out and bought it the first day it was out as a matter of fact. I "jammed it hard" once through and since then I haven't really picked it back up.
The main problem with the album is that its almost entirely old songs. This same kind of thing happened when Stoney Larue had a bunch of live material but when the Red Dirt Album came out it was a songwriting letdown (as most of Stoney's material is anyhow).
The other big problem with the album is that it SOUNDS like the guy from the Black Crowes making a country album. The warmth of the album is great, but none of the songs really jump out of the speakers like (I feel) they should. A different producer could have made this a much better album, mostly because a different producer might have said "Hey Ryan, you need some new songs. Not the same ones you've been playing for the last five years."
Hands down, the best damn songwriter in Texas, and one of the best musicians I've ever heard.
Simply one of the most honest writers today. what a badass!!!
