Howdy Y'all,

Been keeping it to myself around here but figured would share.

My new album is coming out December 10th. And a few friends pitched in some killer parts for me.....and OMG they are terrific!

Dave Krusen did drums on 4 tracks and helped produce a couple. He is a monster and that's all there is to say. Rick Rosas who is Uncle Neil's bass player did 3 parts. Keith Lowe who plays bass with Brad did 4 parts. These are the 2 best bassists I've ever heard for sure.

Rick and Dave also played on a cover of Neil Young's "Ohio" that I did with my friend Josh Hisle. It's out already but Neil put it on his website the day we released it so needless to say it's doing well right now. You can check that out anywhere that sells mp3s.

New record is being mastered tomorrow night by Rodney Mills.......who also mastered Yield!

If you care to follow the record you can pop over to my website. One single is out already but I'll likely stream the album free for a week when it comes out. Join mailing list if you want big yet infrequent updates.

Thanks to Dave, Rick, Keith, Randy. Also all my PJ friends and of course the PJ organization for turning me on to such wicked players.

Maybe I'll put out a cover of "Shoes For My Friends" with Jack Irons. Lol

  • Just a quick plug for some of these amazing players on this record. If you're a recording artist and want some magic on a track, give these guys a ring. They are busy for sure but take gigs now and again and are amazing dudes to work with.

  •   " I really enjoyed playing drums on Ryan's tunes. This is the kind of music that moves me, it's heartfelt and deep. Ryan's a very talented guy and i'd love to work with him again"

    -Dave Krusen, Drummer (Pearl Jam, Candlebox, Unified Theory)

    "It was great to work with Dave Krusen.  What a great drummer.
    After the session i couldn't get "The Setting Sun" out of my head,
    that's a good sign.  Looking forward to recording with Ryan and Dave again!

    Album Review: No Agenda by Ryan Kralik

    Do you miss good ol’ rock ‘n’ roll? Well, Ohio’s Ryan Kralik brings this back with his fifth record release entitled No Agenda. His friendly melodies and endearing guitar riffs attracted the likes of Dave Krusen (Pearl Jam, Hovercraft, Candlebox, and Unified Theory), Rick “The Bass Player” Rosas (Neil Young, Joe Walsh, Buffalo Springfield), Michael G. Ronstadt and Keith Lowe (Brad) to collaborate on the recording.

    “This is the kind of music that moves me, it’s heartfelt and deep,” says Krusen, who plays drums on four of the tracks. “I really enjoyed playing drums on Ryan’s tunes.”

    The album is a great balance of styles from the guitar heavy Jesus Hates Fags to the folky Center of Every World to the catchy Setting Sun, which is the strongest track from a solid selection. “After the session i couldn’t get Setting Sun out of my head,” Rosas explains. “That’s a good sign!”

    Where the album really shines, however, is in its words. “Storm all of the ministries, demand that they set us all free” from The Egypt Riot, “Sometimes they take you, use you for what they need, to drink, to wash, water down their seed” from When You’re the Rain, and “Where will you run to, where will you hide, is that your god on the border or the devil inside” from God on the Border are all part of a powerful message Kralik puts forward on an album that is dedicated to the recent Occupy movement.

    Occupy a copy of No Agenda and you’ll be happy you did.
