Edge of the Wild

Ryan Dart backs heart (“Ready for the Road”) and home (“Sweep the Floor”) with perpetual motion (the gorgeous Bob Dylan cover “Shooting Star”). Evidence: Edge of the Wild. The rapidly rising Colorado-based singer-songwriter’s new collection released April 22, 2022 expertly frames a world-traveled grandson of the Dust Bowl harvesting songs and extracting musical medicine from heartbreak, inspiration, and farm work in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Deeply personal narratives effortlessly back the claim (particularly peaks “Us or the Dust,” “Waves” and the barn burner “Love’s Gone Outta Style”).

Farmer. Father. Musician. Painter.

Ryan Dart's music encompasses the worlds that he lives in.  You can't sing about needing rain, unless you really know what it means to need rain. As a grandson of the dust bowl and a steward of the land, Dart’s unique blend of modern knowledge and continual search for forgotten truths has led to this most recent collection, Edge of the Wild. Dart sings scenes from underneath a Roman Colosseum to frame standout lines like, “Trying to tell myself the truth / Looking for the same in you” or longing for a return to the road with the album’s opening track “Ready for the Road”.  Dart showcases his significant lyrical evolution since his first release a decade ago with pandemic- and quarantine-inspired tracks like “Loves Gone Outta Style” and “Right or Wrong.” 
“In a world where it’s increasingly difficult to find something real to connect with, Ryan Dart and his music do just that,” says Daniel Sproul (Rose Hill Drive, Ryan Bingham, Hard Working Americans). “Theres no mistaking the soul and authenticity that he brings with his lyrics and tunes. Edge of the Wild gives you all of that and more.”  

“Dart comes across like a playlist from the countryside”
— Brian Johnson, Marquee Magazine
