“The best record released in 2015.” – No Depression

With Milwaukee style, Ricky Ganiere guarantees to weirden the mood with sad songs and poorly crafted jokes about whiskey hangovers. Whether he whispers, falsettos, grumbles, or bellows, the stories are all too familiar. Fingerstyle or flat picking, the sounds fit like your favorite old pair of jeans.
