Life Is Always Changing for Singer-Songwriter Ryan Bingham
He's Still Growing Up on Second Album, Roadhouse Sun
July 10, 2009; Written by Chris Parton
Early success and hype have at times overwhelmed a young artist. For each one
who makes it through the first few years with their creative compass intact,
hundreds more are swallowed up by pressure. With the release of Roadhouse Sun,
his second album for Lost Highway Records, Ryan Bingham shows that he's been
through enough in his life to deal with just about anything -- but that's not
to say that he isn't still growing up.
His story is one of constant motion. Moving from town to town with his family
throughout childhood, he became a bull rider in his late teens and traveled on
a touring rodeo circuit. On one of those tours, he found music and songwriting
and hasn't left the road since. By the time of his major label debut, Mescalito,
a firestorm of sorts had started around his life with some claiming him as heir
to the throne of certain long-gone troubadours. The critically-acclaimed
singer-songwriter recently talked to CMT.com about how people interpret his past,
