Ryan Davis and the Roadhouse Band, ‘New Threats From the Soul’

A reading from the gospel according to Ryan Davis: “I left my wallet in El Segundo/I left my love in a West Lafayette escape room.” The mangy underdog Kentucky rogue travels the dirt roads of American country-rock, finding losers and drifters down every byway, in a nine-minute travelogue full of twisted poetry. He does right by the legacy of the Silver Jews’ late great David Berman, baptized in the same American water.
