Heroes on the Radio by Ryan Culwell

From Bob Dylan to John Prine to Cat Stevens and even James Taylor, Ryan learned the importance of story-telling and writing a complete song. He naturally brought all he had learned back into the landscape of Rock n Roll. Ryan's songs turned into anthems. By this time Ryan's voice had developed the capabilities of blues singers, the intimacy of a singer/songwriter, and the mass appeal of rock. Due to the sheer geography of Ryan's childhood he also developed a bit of a country twang, which he showcases on his debut album, "Heroes on the Radio." The album is making major headway and forging a path for Ryan in the music industry and in the hearts of listeners. Based out of Amarillo, Texas, Ryan is developing a devout fanbase throughout the panhandle of Texas that is beginning to broaden throughout the rest of the state and the midwest.

single "Gimme Your Hand"

"Heroes on the Radio", Ryan's debut album. proudly reflects the music that inspired Ryan as a musician. While remaining original, Ryan is able to provide listeners with a songs that seem familiar even on the first listen. With ten songs, "Heroes on the Radio" is able to range from Country, to Folk, to Rock n Roll. The single, "Gimme Your Hand" starts the album off with a strong rhythm and a hook that you wont be able to get out of your head. That is actually the strong point of the album. Every song is memorable and the simple construction of melodies and lyrics makes each song remain with the listener long after the album plays. Playing off the influences of his heroes, Ryan made an album that will remind older listeners of all their favorites (Mellencamp, Dylan, Petty, CCR, and many others) and will inspire a new generation of music fanatics.
