Woody West Lördagsklubb! Live: Ryan Davis & The Roadhouse Band | Pustervik, Gothenburg 20 september
Ryan Davis & The Roadhouse Band hyllas just nu högt världen över för nya albumet 'New Threats From The Soul' och sitt turnerande med MJ Lenderman som nästa stora alternativa slacker-country-rock vid sidan om namn som Kurt Vile, Silver Jews och Cut Worms.
“...like a dam break, a flood of sublime, witty, and dryly devastating lyrics that count among some of the best I’ve heard this decade. He’s an acolyte of the greats—the dry humor of Dolly Parton or John Prine comes to mind when he sings” - Pitchfork
"The Louisville singer-songwriter’s second album with his backing band from all over is jam-packed with arresting turns of phrase, collapsing structures, and revelatory and bizarre unions of form." - Paste Magazine 9.7/10
"At times these long, unwinding songs may remind you of the ruminative musings of Lambchop’s Kurt Wagner, Okkervil River’s Will Sheff, Will Oldham, maybe MJ Lenderman. Lou Reed, even. Most of all, you’ll probably think of David Berman’s Purple Mountains, whose sole, eponymous album was released less than a month before Berman’s su***de in 2019. As so often with Berman on that singular masterpiece, the skewed humour and jaunty breeziness Davis sometimes tunefully deploys disguises the heartbreak, grief, loss, yearning and desperation in his songs, an existential crisis in every rhyming couplet." Uncut, 9/10
"Imagine a less cooky Father John Misty scored by Kurt Wagner and you'll get the drift of Davis's expansive yet self-mocking voice - as he typically observes in Mutilation Springs." Mojo 4/5
