Hello!  Ryan here.  Just wanted to let you guys in on the background for some of the songs on the new album.  The title track "Release"  was written by myself as well as Pat Mcgee and Emerson Hart.  We all were going through divoces at the time and the song is about letting go.  Take a Bow is another "divorce song" Pat and I wrote with Mike Daly of Wiskeytown.  Fade is a song I wrote with Chuck Carrier.  It is about, well let's see,  uhmm maybe a divorce?  Yeah a divorce.  I want to let you know that I am ok and think that writting those songs helped my recovery.  Now I can write some happy, cheery stuff!  Yeah!  Peace, Ryan
