Home Cooked Music
Like it’s predecessor (Comeback), Home Cooked Music is as much about the sounds of an earlier time as it is about the artist. Just as music of a bygone era once did, songs on the Home Cooked Music album tell stories. These range from a “miracle” in old Santa Fe, to real life situations we all might experience, from time to time.
All songs on the Home Cooked Music CD have been composed, arranged and performed by Paul Ryan. All instrumentation is acoustic. On the one hand acoustic instruments lend an authenticity to music, and were used by the great songwriter-performers of the past. On the other hand acoustic music just plain sounds nice.
A Note to Radio Stations
Did you know that Johnny Cash recorded over 1,500 songs, and today a whopping 45 albums remain in print?
As part of our website service, we currently send via an email a “Did You Know” bullet from time to time to on air folks at radio stations. The bullet is intended to provide country, Americana, folk and bluegrass DJ’s with an interesting tidbit that might be useful on-air for listeners. In most cases the email is a one paragraph bullet about an acoustic artist of days gone by. For example last year we sent out ten letters, covering a range of country music and related genre “builders” ranging from Leadbelly to Eddie Arnold.
If you are a DJ that might be interested in being added to our list email us at mail@ryantunes.com, and we’ll be sure to add your name. At the same time, if you would like to receive the CD for airplay consideration let us know by including your snail mail address and we’ll send that along as well.
Song Samples
There are 15 new songs on the CD. On this website, there is a sampling from each one (on the Listen page) to give an idea of what the product sounds like.
Watch the Video
If you have a high speed internet internet connection you might want to have a look at the new video for the title song (Home Cooked Music). If you're on a dialup connection you can still watch the video, but you may want to make yourself a cup of coffee while the video downloads...
