Concussion is an album by the American musician Matthew Ryan, released in 2001 on Waxy Silver.[2][3]
Production
[edit]The album was recorded over the course of eight days; "Somebody Got Murdered" is a cover of the Clash song.[4] Ryan duets with Lucinda Williams on "Devastation".[5]
Critical reception
[edit]No Depression thought that "Ryan has one of those love-it-or-hate-it voices, but like Dylan or Neil Young, it’s a sound that perfectly captures his lyrics."[6]
AllMusic wrote that "in his rough, sandpaper vocals, Ryan sings about troubled relationships and doomed characters in songs often focusing on matters of violence, either of physical or emotional kind."[1]
