8.27.21 Ryan will release his new single 'Ain't No Grave"
'Ain't No Grave' is a song that has been recorded by many great artists over the years... I felt so inspired by the spirit of Johnny Cash's version that I decided to create and record my own... I started playing with the song at live shows and fell in love with what came together.
There is something smooth but very edgy about the performance that I recorded over the past few months... I tracked all the guitar and vocals alone in the basement of my church. The rest of the production was applied by my producer, Lang Freeman in Austin TX. I hope you enjoy my take on this classic public domain hymn...
‘Ain’t No Grave’. will be available on all major online music platforms 8.27.21
