So says Amazon.com
It’s good to hear different styles on the same CD instead of a bunch of sound a likes. Cory definitely doesn’t sound like “so-and-so”. THAT’S a good thing. Cory’s Blank Slate infuses rock-n-roll with a lyrical depth, whose original sound cannot be easily categorized. Reviewers say: “Cory Ryan’s Blank Slate is a rarity. At times it sounds as robust as early U2, at other times it takes cues from vaudeville sound and at other times sounds like the better end of singer/songwriter fare. The single-bound ‘Lauren’ is catchy as anything on the radio today and ‘Good Now That You’re Gone’ is a raunchy roadhouse jump-n-jiver that the Stray Cats wouldn’t be ashamed to cover. One of the best aspects of the album is its overall cohesion, despite the fact any of the albums songs could stand on their own, independently.” Cory Ryan is noted for his high energy and just plain fun style of delivering music, yet his music speaks to the soul. His fate has been sealed as a singer, songwriter, and electrifying performer. His breakout CD “Blank Slate” has been met with adulation and success.
