Product Review
Album Description
Ryan Bingham has spent most of his life on the road, first on the rough-and-tumble rodeo circuit, then moving from town to town on the equally volatile roadhouse musical circuit. Those travels have given him plenty of material to draw from - and plenty of reason to stop for a moment to dig in his heels and take a stand.
That's exactly what the Texas-bred troubadour does on his second Lost Highway album, Road House Sun, a hardscrabble collection that's at once unblinkingly personal and unapologetically political - the latter a new and bracingly vivid addition to Bingham's palette.
Produced, like its predecessor, by one-time Black Crowes guitarist Marc Ford, Road House Sun manages to capture a feel that's rootsy without being retro. That has a lot to do with the singer's preternaturally wizened voice - which Bingham laughingly attributes to "Too many nights in the whiskey house" - not to mention Ford's approach behind the board," which Bingham describes as "really old school. Those guitar tones and basslines, Marc knew how to get those down. He wanted to do it the way they used to do it."

I was absolutely stunned by the quality of the music on that disk. Every song on it was truly great, and I wasn't sure if Ryan Bingham would be able to match the quality of that record.
I was wrong. Not only does "Roadhouse Sun" match the quality of "Mescalito", it exceeds it in several areas. Ryan Bingham's songwriting has clearly matured, and continues to get better. Songs like "Snake Eyes" and "Rolling Highway Blues" show a new side of Ryan Bingham. And also, his band, the Dead Horses, simply rocks harder. A listen to the opening track, "Day Is Done" surely proves that. The song starts out softly with rolling slide and electric guitars, but soon builds into a pure rock anthem with a driving beat and a wall of roaring guitars. Just as quick, it returns to the gentle tones of soft slide. The Dead Horses have remarkable musicianship, and Marc Ford,...Read more 13 of 15 people found the following review helpful: Just Damn Good Music., By Brian Brady (Castro Valley, CA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Roadhouse Sun (Audio CD) Great music that defies classification. I had 'Roadhouse Sun' in the CD player in the car as I drove my friend to work, and he sat quietly for 15 or 20 minutes, a first for as long as I've known him, and we just rocked out to this great music.
If I had to label it I would say, West Texas Alt Country Rock in the great tradition of Joe Ely or Springsteen's Nebraska. He was a little late for work because he wanted to hear more music, but I bought him a copy of his own and I'll give it to him next time I give him a ride to work. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful: Bingham's 2nd a Real Stunner!, By This review is from: Roadhouse Sun (Audio CD) Ryan Bingham's latest offering lives up to every expectation one could possibly have for music that transcends time and space. With "Roadhouse Sun" Bingham brings to plight the feelings and frustrations of the common man. There are anthems and there are tender moments that reflect truth and commonalities we all share. Emotions run high on "Endless Ways" while "Bluebird" digs deep to the songwriters core of self reflection. While there are bound to be comparisons with a young Steve Earle in his prime, Bingham is is own man and brings the genre of a long line of tradition full circle to its rightful place. These are songs of redemption, reflection and celebrations of being alive in 2009. Without a doubt a top recording of 2009. I await the next chapter in Bingham's long anticipated legacy. |
