"OK, no lie. This post will probably be takin' down in a couple days. I did not buy the cd(being a starving college student a cd is the last thing i purchase) BUT if i were to purchase a cd this would be the one. I heard him perform live tonight and it was absolutely incredible. Is style isn't anything particularly unique but more of a blend of the forte's of all the "pop" acoustic singers. Nothing less than beautiful."
"Music is feeling then, not sound"

""Music is feeling then, not sound." The words of Wallace Stevens, in addition to gracing the liner notes of "From Silence and Joy," speak truly of Ryan's music. I could spend significantly more than my allotted thousand words to explain why this album is so amazing. So, instead, I'll keep it short. Each of these eleven songs is incredible in a variety of ways. I just got the CD less than 24 hours ago(personally acquired from Ryan, a friend of mine) and I've already listened to it at least ten times all the way through, not to mention repeat listenings of individual songs. I've listened to "Days of of my mind" alone for over and hour. Buy this CD, you will love it."
