I agree with the above influences. In fact, all of Paris subway has huge advertising placards about Ryan which say he's a cross between Neil and Dylan (or is it Van?). Anyway, I hear another influence there: John Hiatt, one of the greatest singer/songwriter in my book. Just like most people in this list, I checked Ryan out of curiosity and instantly liked him, especially the 1st album. This sharing of experiences is what JMDL is about. Keep it up. Laurent
