Ryan Chrys-A Lick and A Promise-CD Review
by Tim Wenger
Ryan Chrys has a pretty good name in Denver music, and it is only going to get stronger with his upbeat, extremely danceable new country album A Lick and A Promise. This record is real honky-tonk country, the way it is supposed to be, not the mainstream pop-country crap that has been flooding the genre of late.
The album was cut in Nashville, appropriately, but is full of Colorado love, and features Angie Stevens as well as Seth and Josh Larson of Something Underground as guest musicians. Additionally, the fast-moving “fun” element that stands out on each song on the album screams with Colorado flavor. The second track, titled “Give” is proof of that. Chrys’ songs sound like what you would hear on a rippin’ Saturday night at the Grizzly Rose, and if you listen closely, you can hear elements of rock and, maybe even some alternative on tracks like “My Town” and “When Love Fades.”
