Acoustic bliss.

Ryanhood - Sad and Happiness
I first heard of Ryanhood when they came to play a show here at Tufts a couple of months ago. They’re an up-and-coming Boston-based acoustic guitar duo. I put them somewhere between Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds with both people singing and Simon & Garfunkel with both people playing guitar (which, as it turns out, is similar to how they describe themselves). In any case, I ended up being impressed enough with the show to pick up the CD. They have witty, well-written songs (with the occasional cheesy lyric), catchy melodies, and some nice guitar work. Check out the CD if you can, or, better yet, see them live. They put on a good show, and you’ll get a better sense of their talent there than from the disc. Still, it’s a worthwhile listen.
