Album Review: Sean Ryan 'Finer Things'

Inspired by music of the past, singer-songwriter Sean Ryan comes from a long line of musicians beginning with his grandfather who performed with the Las Vegas “Rat Pack.” Ryan was taught drums by his father at the age of eleven and started playing professionally within the same year. After seven years touring and performing with his father and brother, he left to pursue his own solo project and recently released his latest album, Finer Things. The ten-song project, written, and produced by Sean along with Rob Gulseth and co-produced by Taylor Kropp, features songs that are delivered sincerely with soul and passion. Whether it’s appealing to a love on the dreamy, reflective opener “All Night Long,” dealing with uncertainty on “Edger Allan Poe” or yearning for a special someone on the roots rocker “Go My Way,” Ryan weaves stories of love, struggles, and triumphs that are wholly relatable.
​
Finer Things also includes the infectious “Stuck In My Head,” the duo of “Zombie Heart” and “Bury Me,” rockers that convey that mix sadness and anger one experiences in relationships, and personal favorite, the keys-accented, uplifting “Burn Inside You” before closing with the anthemic “Who I Am.” To listen and purchase visit HERE.
