Album: Fear and Saturday Night by Ryan Bingham (2015)
Genre: Singer/Songwriter

Format: Album

Description: “I’ve been carrying my trouble, this pack strapped to my shoulder ever since I was a baby”, moans Ryan Bingham in the first swaying moments of his fifth solo outing. Bingham’s earnestness makes the tune—and much of the album—an unshakable collection of poignant songwriting.
