Ryan Lee Crosby Live!
“Of all the world’s musical traditions, the one that speaks to me most directly is the Bentonia style of Delta blues,” Crosby relates. “Something I love about the blues is its timeless ability to express the entire range of the human experience: its brightest joys, deepest sorrows and everything in between. By listening to the blues, we can learn how to have compassion for ourselves and others. Its lessons are endless.”
The fingerstyle guitar maven, songwriter and powerfully emotional performer blends echoes of traditional music from Mississippi, Mali, and India into compelling songs that speak from—and to—the heart.
Ryan Lee Crosby’s latest album "Winter Hill Blues" captures the timeless power of music from Mississippi, refracted by influences of Indian slide guitar and Crosby’s own unique approach to the style. The songs resonate with a sound and spirit forged from his life as a traveling musician and his studies with traditional masters Jimmy "Duck" Holmes and RL Boyce. Produced by Fat Possum Records’ Bruce Watson at his Delta-Sonic Sound studio in Memphis.
