Ryan States - Strange Town

I don't do that many modern CD reviews on my blog. This is called reto cool junk reminder after all. But this album needs some attention. Ryan States is an "out" singer-songwriter that has brought a flare of 80's piano pop into a modern feel. This album (I do believe the only album of it's kind) was recorded on a train. If that doesn't make you want to listen to this wonderful album, then stop reading my blog. I mean a train people!!! Dealing with issues like coming out, moving away, and affairs of the heart, Ryan has somehow combind Ben Folds charm with Elton Johns wit. There is nothing strange about growing up. Hell, even if you grow up gay. Here is to this wonderful album. Check out the influences and enjoy.
