Quotes
“Cory Ryan is a multi-talented artist and writer ... one to watch!”
Beth Nielsen Chapman
Singer, songwriter
“He’s got that acoustic rhythm I adore in Edwin McCain, with a voice strikingly similar to Matt Nathanson. In ‘Changed’, he sings, ‘With a word and a smile you say every thing’s all right, but whose head will you be holding when you sleep tonight?’ Ryan’s tunes are written in a witty tone that exudes his caution about love, while a few of them let the softer side through. I have to say the album impressed me. Favorite Tracks: ‘Everything’, ‘Changed’.”

“Cory Ryan’s Blank Slate is a rarity. At times it sounds as robust as early U2, at other times it takes cues from vaudeville sound, and at other times sounds like the better end of singer/songwriter fare… The single-bound ‘Lauren’ is catchy as anything on the radio today.”

“‘Good Now That You’re Gone’, a raunchy roadhouse jump-n-jiver that the Stray Cats wouldn’t be ashamed to cover.”
