Search - Ryan Scott :: Five O'Clock News

Five O'Clock News is a collection of songs driven by Ryan's incomparable and heartfelt voice. This is music that pushes and pulls down the middle of funk and jazz, back up through the unwinding strands of post-folk and rock, and lands, sometimes sweetly and softly and sometimes with a resounding smash, right in the center of your chest. Ryan has the good sense to surround himself with some of the heaviest cats in NYC. Five O'Clock News features sizzlas like Christopher Hoffman on cello, Ben Stivers on organ and keys, Matt Kilmer on percussion and Steve Altenberg on drums, as well as guest appearances from Kevin Louis on trumpet and Craig Dreyer (tenor sax), who recorded and mixed the album at his Mighty Toad Studios in Pawling, NY. Legendary producer and engineer Rob Fraboni (Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton) joined the project as mastering engineer to create a disc with a singular character all classic albums inevitably possess.
