RadioIndy is pleased to present Rick Ryman with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Leg Man"

"Leg Man" is the impressive debut from Tennessee country musician Rick Ryman. Ryman sings true-to-life songs with a great country vocal reminiscent of Dwight Yokum. The arrangements are in the traditional country style, filled with slide and acoustic guitar, violin, banjo, thumping bass lines, and toe-tapping drum beats. Ryman is a great storyteller, and he weaves stories into his work both sad and humorous as he sings about being a trucker, faith, working, and women. "Leg Man" is well-produced, sounds professional and is radio-friendly. The title track, "Leg Man," has nice slide guitar and drum work, a catchy chorus, and humorous lyrics about trucking and checking out women. "You're It" is an upbeat track with a violin, drum, bass, and banjo arrangement, great lyrics of childhood and growing up, and a heartfelt chorus. "Leg Man" is truly a triumphant debut for Rick Ryman. Its solid arrangements, true-to-life lyrics, great vocals and styling is impressive and ready for the mainstream. Fans of traditional country should definitely look into Ryman.
