BUTCH RYAN BAND - Time To Wait |
Real roots rock `n roll with massively strong and hooky melodies, which the genre does not always pull down. Butch Ryan Band does. Fans who like the idea of The Hold Steady and The Replacements and Bruce Springsteen hanging together, you have found yr new favorite band! "Equal parts Springsteen and hick Replacements, with Butch alternately crooning and yelling like some redneck Danzig."
- Focus Magazine "The Ryan outfit plays no-nonsense rock and roll, Springsteen minus the bombast, alt-country without the faux-Appalachian twang". - The Tampa Tribune.
"Butch Ryan portends to be a cautious man on one of the many outstanding tracks on this 2008 release. There are so many hooks, so many moments of transcendence, so many singularly great musical moments that I fear that I might be able to physically take it all in if Butch ever just let go. The vocals are full of sadness, reflection and, thankfully, optimism. Recorded while the band`s drummer was suffering (and finally succumbing) from brain cancer must`ve put Ryan into a reflective mood. Tragedy sometimes makes great art. On `Time To Wait` Ryan and longtime co-producer Steve Connelly caught the essence of a sad an vulnerable period. Ryan`s earlier work was full of hooks and heart. He has taken a tremendous leap with this record. Butch Ryan`s songwriting is heartfelt, emotionally rich and lyrically timeless. He lays down a smooth guitar based
roots-pop that is strum heavy, working a moderate pace and mood that will tug at your need to groove. This open, on-his-sleeve sentiment plays well through his slightly toasty, melodic and rich vocal phrasings."-MOM. VERY Highly Recommended!
