Friday Morning Jukebox: Matthew Ryan

A couple songs from Pennsylvania native Matthew Ryan. Ryan has a rather… distinct voice. If that’s the sort of thing that bothers you, Ryan might not be up your alley. He’s officially marked as Alternative Country, but I’m not sure how well that definition fits. He is one of the few songwriters where closing my eyes automatically generates its own music video. The first song here, “Guilty”, is the first of his I heard and piqued my interest

This is my favorite song, also off his May Day album, which I consider to be one of the prizes of my collection.
