I've known JByrd since 2002. I've watched him grow. This record is dark and goes deep. You'll dig it on the first listen. You'll love when you get to that 10th listen and hear the secret handshake.
Ryan worked on this album over a period of years, working with a great produced, David Goodrich, the whole time. Fabulous collection of songs, and hey, I play mando and sing on a couple tracks!
