Ryan Bingham @ Revenation, Houston

We enjoyed another fine Ryan Bingham performance, free tix made it even better, Thanks Kara!

From No Depression review of his latest record: Fear and Saturday Night is a mix of country, rock and roll, zydeco, and dust bowl roots that seamlessly blends together stories inspired from Bingham’s past. On “Broken Heart Tattoos,” Bingham adds harmonica to his gritty voice, imagining what kind of parent he’ll become to an unborn child. He follows it with a Hendrix-Zeppelin rocker “Top Shelf Drug,” about his lover.  “Adventures Of You and Me” is a slide-guitar and Tex-Mex-zydeco rocker about a pair of misfits who travel the country together, while “Island in the Sky” has a Dylanesque feel about escaping to a place of salvation.
