Matthew Ryan can write a song and make you feel it in no time at all. He’s got it; he understands the craft. And on this, his newest album, Boxers, he’s got a solid winner. His songwriting style is of someone who has lived and experienced reality – life’s good and bad sides; it never sounds forced or playing at being a lyricist. There is a purity in his songs that I haven’t found in a long time – and it’s welcome and refreshing. As is the emotion that’s wrung out of his voice, which at times reminded me of Paul Westerberg. The musicianship is masterful and the production by guitarist Kevin Salem (a legend in his own right and in my opinion) is top notch. Everything about this album is right.
