“When Americans talk, they sing…brilliant!”
Norman Thomas, BBC Radio Merseyside
“F***ing fantastic!”
Steve Panter, The Cavern Club, Liverpool, UK
“Hook-filled songs with honest, "everyman" lyrics set the pace for this 10-track collection...
there is unrestrained heartland drive from start to finish”
Review of Wishing on the Stars, Miles of Music
“You guys rocked the house..the dog’s bollocks!.”
Ste Preston, Farmers Arms, Bolton UK
“…Some of his songs are beautiful, some are bittersweet, some are experienced, some are innocent – downright
naïve and all the more beautiful for it. Butch Ryan is more than the music; he’s about a way of living. Chip Carter,
The Chicago Tribune
“Butch Ryan’s songwriting is heartfelt, emotionally rich and lyrically timeless. He lays down a smooth guitar based
roots-pop that’s strum heavy, working a moderate pace and mood that’ll tug at your need to groove.
This open, on-his-sleeve sentiment plays well through his slightly toasty, melodic and rich vocal phrasings.”
Review of Honeylove, Miles of Music
“Equal parts Springsteen and hick Replacements, with Butch alternately crooning and yelling like some redneck Danzig.”
Scott Harrell, Focus Magazine
“The Ryan outfit plays no-nonsense rock ‘n’ roll, Springsteen minus the bombast, alt-country without the faux-Appalachian twang”.
Curtis Ross, The Tampa Tribune
