Ryan Koenig - Two Different Worlds

.
A member of fellow St. Louisan Pokey LaFarge's band, singer and guitarist Koenig steps out here with his first solo album. The album's title gives a hint as to Koenig's mindset as his country music does indeed live in a different world, with songs like "Strugglin' with a Lot," "Am I Still in Your Heart (Or Am I Just in Your Way)" and "Easy to See" channeling a long-gone era that featured performers like Webb Pierce, Ernest Tubb and the legendary Hank Williams. Koenig wrote all the tales of love and loss here and while there's a heavy dose of the woebegone to the lyrics the listener is nevertheless likely to find it all quite pleasant.
