Our Take

Derek Ryan's latest album, "The Fire," ignites a lukewarm spark within the realm of country music. The Irish crooner delivers a collection of tunes that feel like a cozy pub session rather than a roaring blaze.

Ryan's smooth vocals soar over traditional instrumentation, but the lack of experimentation leaves the listener craving something more innovative. Tracks like "Home to Donegal" and "Heaven" showcase Ryan's talent for storytelling, but ultimately fall flat in their predictability.

The album's production is polished to a fault, with every note perfectly in place, but it's this precision that robs "The Fire" of any real raw emotion. It's as if Ryan is simply going through the motions, rather than truly baring his soul.

That being said, there are moments of genuine charm sprinkled throughout the album. "Hayley Jo" is a toe-tapping ditty that will have you tapping your feet, while "Why Don't You Love Me" tugs at the heartstrings with its poignant lyrics.

Overall, "The Fire" may not set the world ablaze, but it certainly offers a pleasant warmth on a cold winter's night. Derek Ryan may not be reinventing the wheel, but he's certainly keeping it turning.
