He's trotted the globe toting instruments and spilling ink on his ever changing here and now. Place after place, he peruses the lines of his pocket-sized Moleskines and the under-thumbed pages of the Western songbook for tunes that fit each of his impromptu stages from Boston's street corners to Hyderabad's Hindi-dinned nightspots. From Here is Ryan's latest. It features a heaping helping of local-crème musicians: Tom Bianchi, Sean Staples, Raleigh Green, Eric Royer, Dan Blakeslee, Mike Greenstein, Jenny Cluggish-Leong, Marcus Milius, Kara Kulpa and Vance Gilbert. The series of songs studies places and hinges squeaklessly on lovingly turned phrases. At the heart of this album are Ryan's fluent finger picking and lyrics that shimmy between whim and worry, East and West, abundance and scarcity, and between taking off and staying put.
