CD REVIEW: Ryan Montbleau Band "Heavy On The Vine"

Over the span of the last few albums that Ryan Montbleau and his band have released the band has really come into their own. With each album the songwriting, the cohesiveness, and the energy has gotten better and they have become a band on the verge of greatness. This latest album mixes familiar songs (several were featured on Montbleau's last solo live acoustic release) with a mess of new tunes, creating a collection that is the band's best to date. They mix general rock and roll with a bit of funk and a little jazz, and bring their live band energy into the studio putting it all down to tape just as if they were delivering it live on stage. "Chariot (I Know)" is one of Montbleau's best three songs (the others coming on his previous RMB release). Other standouts on the album include the acoustic driven "My Best Guess," the country twinged "I Can't Wait," and the brief but funky instrumental "Hands." Ryan Montbleau & co. have outdone themselves and have elevated their game. This album, along with Monbleau's recent songwriting successes, will have them gaining national attention, airplay, and praise.

CD REVIEW: Ryan Montbleau "Stages: Volume II"

Voice and guitar is all that is needed to create an excellent album. This, the second installment of Ryan Montbleau's live series "Stages," is a stunning collection of gems from Monbleau's catalogue. Several of the best performances on the album come from tracks off of Montbleau's last full band release, showing off that they are not only filled with musical excellence, but lyrical excellence as well. "75 And Sunny," which features guest vocals from Amber Rubarth, really shows off how great a songwriter that Montbleau actually is, as the words he sings are the highlight of the song. The album finishes up with an acoustic studio recording of a new song called "More And More And More" and also features a cover of a Paul Simon song. You can really get an idea of how great he is as a performer as well, as the album is filled with the lovely sounds of the audience from each of the shows that the compilation was pulled from. Montbleau really shows off his core as a performing singer/songwriter, making this album one of the best live releases of 2009.
