About Me

With his lilting, melancholy vocals and beautiful arrangements Brian Ritchey has released an impressive debut with the 7-song EP, a disc that’s very reminiscent of the early work of The Jayhawks, Ryan Adams and occasionally even Tom Petty and Nick Drake. Everything here from the upbeat opener "Guess That I’m Lonely" and the heartfelt emotions of "Apology" to "Forty Years" with it’s very effective piano work and the Petty-ish "It Feels Like Rock-n-Roll?" showcase Ritchey’s talent and make this a very worthwhile disc.
