Kenter Canyon

Thanks for not letting me down - I love artists like you, so few are still around. Hearty, pure, meaningful sound and lyrics.... Simple & beautiful. Thank you....

I've been listening to Joey for a few years now and he keeps getting better and better. 5 for 5 on this EP and more great things are sure to come. I highly recommend purchasing this album and hopping on the bandwagon before while there are still a few seats open.

I bought this album last night and have played it non stop! great album, highly recommend!!

I bought this album on a whim not really knowing what to expect and I must say I could not have been any more impressed. In an era where music is consistantly being criticized for its lack of substance, Joey Ryan's 'Kenter Canyon' is a breath of fresh air. This is the first time in recent memory that I've felt truly enriched by an album. Joey's unique sound and unfeigning lyrics make for a stunning musical experience. Between the impassioned "Walls Come Down", the beautifully tranquil "Tipperary" and the playfully honest "Permanent" this album has it all.

I have listened to this album everyday for the last month. I had to visit Joey's MySpace all the time, but it's so good. I crave it. After he did a song like California, I wasn't sure he could come up with a catchier number, but this album boasts his growth and abilities. I highly highly recommend this EP. I wish there were more songs, but I'm willing to wait :) Perfect album Joey!

"Kenter Canyon" is an album which is sure to warm your heart. Joey Ryan has a unique voice that lends character to the beautifully written lyrics that are based on discovery and that which is most important about life. Joey is an adventurer with a loyal heart. His lyrics are driven by a desire to explore new territory, but his adventures always lead him back to that which is true. The songs on this ep are a tapestry of beautifully woven words which are delicately placed among complimentary musical compositions. This ep is a must have addition to any music lover's collection. Having known Joey for quite some time, I can genuinely say that he has really developed into a pioneer in the music world.

Los Angeles has been fortunate to have Joey Ryan play regularly at cosy venues including Room 5 and Hotel Cafe but after hearing his newest offering, Kenter Canyon, I predict we'll soon be losing him to the rest of the music loving world. Joey's intelligent, sensitive, soul searching and poetic lyrics have reached a new level of maturity in Kenter Canyon and coupled with memorable tunes and some excellent guest support, it's a winning commercial combination that could be a breakthrough album for this fine young singer songwriter. Broken Headlights and Queen Jane are screaming out for singles release and hopefully will get the airplay they both deserve. by Jan Fox

Joey's new EP is my favorite of all his albums...love them all but this one represents who Joey is today. The singer/songwriter who just loves to make breathtakingly beautiful music. This EP leaves me wanting more! Congratulations Joey!

I've been following Joey and his music for almost 7 years now, all the way back to his humble beginnings in Berkeley, CA. This is my favorite of his releases yet, and is a huge step forward in terms of both songwriting, performance, and production quality. The record sounds great and the songs stick with you from the first time you hear them. Although he may have mass appeal with fans of the L.A. Singer-Songwriter scene/genre, I believe Joey's music is a cut above. I've heard some great artists come out of the Hotel Cafe, but to my ears, Joey is a clear stand out. His voice is unique and his songwriting perspective is one of a kind. Definitely going to remain as one of my favorite releases of 2010. Check out Walls Come Down. It just builds and builds and eventually blows your mind towards the end. But don't take my word for it.

Joey Ryan is evolving into a touching songwriter.A soul searcher and a poet,he has finally arrived at some of his best work so far. A Romantic,moody melody definately great for a 1st date..
