Lonesome Shadow by Timothy Rye
"Timothy Rye is an Indianapolis artist with a real respect for the traditions of his country western and folk music forbearers - especially when those traditions get haunted with themes of death, rambling, solitude, justice, wanderlust and that ol spectre of the hope of resurrection...." Musician Joel David Weir
"Timothy Rye's new album continues the lyrical complexity and insightful poetry from his first record; however, the sonic landscape of these tracks is a massive leap forward. Rye has the uncommon ability to traverse genres without compromising the core of his musical vision - a stark Americana haunted both by damnation and redemption, without easy lines between the two. This record is a powerful portrayal of the struggles of an artistic soul that, precisely because of its particularity, will speak to many. " - Professor Rob Saler
