My latest release was produced by Stephan Altman. We spent many hours in a little room together trying to bring out the best versions of the latest songs I had written. I am so proud of this collection and I hope you like it. I like the cellos on it :) If you’ve heard any of these songs before it was probably ‘As It Must Be’ on One Tree Hill, or ‘California’ on XM satellite radio.
Joey Ryan is a modern troubadour—growing up on a steady diet of Dylan and his contemporaries, he decided to play music instead of going to grad school, and we’re better off for it. His classic singer-songwriter style guitar picking is quite refreshing, and each song possesses a smattering of something to make it sparkle, whether it be a little bit of organ on “Honest Man” or lush strings on “As It Must Be”. We picture the Los Angeles that Joey Ryan inhabits not like the city we’ve visited before, but more like the dreamland crafted by the works of Brian Wilson and The Mamas and the Papas.

Joey Ryan grew up with listening to Bob Dylan and thought he certainly would never play music for a living. He went to class and after that college attended a college. But instead of pursuing a career in psychology he started singing and released his first full length record called "Good Enough" back in 2005 his "The California EP" followed in 2007. In 2008 he released his second album "...With Its Roots Above and Its Branches Below"
