21 NovNew Music: Ryan Bingham – Junky Star
1 SepNew Music Tuesday this week was fantastic and it also marked the release of Ryan Bingham & The Dead Horses new album, Junky Star. I’m really not sure what it is but I have never been able to get enough of his music and considering that he’s a country artist, that’s what’s most surprising to me as my friends are the first to know I don’t listen to country music. Well that’s sort of changed over the last year and I credit Bingham’s wraspy voice and gritty sound. It could also be that Marc Ford formerly of the Black Crowes produced the first two albums. Well Junky Star which was produced by T Bone Burnett, has me after just one listen. I’m definitely going to need to give the disc a few listens before making a concrete assessment but so far, so good.
