Matt Ryczek - Without You

Artist ----  Matt Ryczek

Song   ----  Without You

Album  ----  Six Year Plan (2004)

Background: Matt Ryczek is an Athens based acoustic musician. From a total unknown, Matt has built up a solid fan base through his independent song releases. Born in 1981 in Atlanta Georgia, he was mostly inspired listening to artists such as Jack Johnson and John Mayer. Ryczek describes his music as "laid-back jazzy pop". Six Year Plan is his first record and he is about to release his second one this year.

Trivia: The tour dates on his page say that he has only played in Smith's Olde Bar in Atlanta so far.

My two cents: This is the typical rough diamond you can find on YouTube. Coming out of nowhere, somehow there's a link from a John Mayer song to his song and boom! You fall in love with a song from an artist you have never heard of before. His sound certainly conjures up images of lazy summer afternoons with acoustic rhythms playing overhead. Easy on the ears. I like it! The lyrics are easy but yet strong and send a nice and honest message to somebody you really appreciate and you cannot be with right now. Enjoy good weather and this song on your ears.
