Rounding Out The Week with Matthew Ryan

There is something about the YouTube video above, just how casual Mr. Ryan is about the song, just standing there performing it masterfully. It is something like this that makes me feel untalented and ever impressed to those who create great music. Matthew Ryan has some of the best down trodden songwriter tracks around. He has been a favourite for a few years and if I can, I would like you to purchase “Concussion” and “Regret Over The Wires“.
If you are lucky enough (and I forget where I found them) search out “Hopeless to Hopeful” and “Dissent From the Living Room” that he self released a while back. Take a listen to “I’m An American” below and tell me it isn’t one of the best songs you have ever heard, period.
Visit Matt Ryan on his Website and MySpace, pick up an album – contribute to one of the good guys.

I know I’ve said this about some of your featured artists before, but Matthew Ryan is, and has been for a bit, one of my true favorites. I can’t really find any songs of his that I don’t like (and then constantly listen to on repeat…)
I hear ya! There is soo much from Ryan that is good. He has like 7 or 8 albums total, some do have ups and downs, but overall they all have quality material.
