Ryan Binghamhas spent most of his life on the road, first on the
rough-and-tumble rodeo circuit, then moving from town to town on
the equally volatile roadhouse musical circuit. Those travels have
given him plenty of material to draw from - and plenty of reason to
stop for a moment to dig in his heels and take a stand. That's
exactly what the Texas-bred troubadour does on his second Lost
Highway album, Roadhouse Sun, a hardscrabble collection that's at
once unblinkingly personal and unapologetically political - the
latter a new and bracingly vivid addition to Bingham's palette. The
expanded consciousness bursts to the surface of several cuts on
Roadhouse Sun- nowhere more movingly than on "Dylan's Hard Rain," a
stark look into the darker corners of an America in which the storm
its namesake sang of has blown through."With all that's happened
politically and economically in the last couple of years, I felt
like there was a lot to say," explains the 28-year-old
singer-songwriter. "As a young person, I felt like it was time to
get involved, to write something that wasn't just about Saturday
nights in bars. And as far as Dylan? Things that were happening
back then are still happening. Things keep repeating themselves."
