And (from CDBABY)...Easy on the ears!
Reviewer: Joyce S.
Also Known As has a nice variety of music. Being totally uninspired by most of the music that's out today, I find this to be a refreshing change. Check it out!
Something for everyone.
Reviewer: Michele
I love the CD. I got it today, that was quick. As for Give Sorrow Words, the chorus is incredibly beautiful especially the image of the bird flying away representing our loved ones, very visual and memorable Thank You. Eyes Wide is my favorite, Heartbeat best for commercial type hit song release and I like the irony in Tradewinds and River of Dreams would be good country cross-over hit. Something for everyone. Great Job, Fun to listen to! Keep writing and playing!
Very cool 70s vibe!
Reviewer: D. S. Parr
Ryan is a very talented singer/songwriter/musician. If you are a fan of music from the 70s, this is definitely a CD you will want to own.
I'm back home
Reviewer: Heather Doig
It is so great to revisit the past and know some things will always be familiar! Having known Ryan, Jimmy and some of these songs from over 15 years ago, older songs carry me away in my imagination as they always have, and the songs new to me will become fast favorites.
Toe-Tapping Easy Listening
Reviewer: Linda
Great easy listening, toe-tapping sound for the 30+ generation. I listened to the CD all the way through and by the second time I was singing along.
A smorgasbord of enjoyment- supremely entertaining!!
Reviewer: M. Tyson
With the deep, heartfelt emotion of Give Sorrow Words showcased in the same CD as the fun and upbeat Knock the Ball Outta the Park, this CD has it all! It's really difficult to choose a favorite from the plethora of enjoyable tunes in this wonderfully written and performed ensemble. However- if I had to choose just one, I'd choose four: Heartbeat, Give Sorrow Words, Eyes Wide and Been Here Before. RMG has a major winner with this one! You will inevitably listen to this CD over and over again- trust me!
ALSO KNOWN AS is a "must-have" for anyone old enough to read this.
Reviewer: Dave Turtletaub
This CD carries you along like a road trip you've been looking forward to for months. The mood of each and every song pulls you in and makes you glad it did. Whether it's RIVER O' RUNNIN' or THIS TABLE or GIVE BACK THE NIGHT, the attraction is compelling. Do yourself a favor and give this CD a spin. In no time at all, you'll be drawn in, too!
Excellent, entertaining, unique
Reviewer: Scott Atkins
This is a very entertaining CD with a collection of unique songs that make you want to play them over and over again. Most are songs that you want to sing along with after you learn the words. Galloway has a sound that is not totally rock while not exactly country. A distinctive sound not commonly heard. The baseball song is bound to become famous.
Proof that good musicianship and style never die.
Reviewer: C. Aaron Moore
The wonderful thing about independent music releases is that, by and large, they usually showcase the music of genres that been overshadowed by over-marketed pop that has no substance. Also Known As qualifies as a rare gem in this regard, because it showcases a style of music still revered by many, but having few public champions to still keep recording in the classic/album/country rock eras. Like his many influences such as James Taylor, Ryan has managed to take songs like River of Runnin' or No Other One and show dynamic and gentle range, while still being able to cut loose with Knock The Ball Outta The Park. Among these that is the best lyrically and musically is the memorable Been Here Before, my personal favorite on the album. If independence can truly equal individual unique sprituality, then this album is an example of how it would sound in one way or another.
One of those hidden gems!
Reviewer: Steve - Florida
Ever spend an afternooon at the store with headphones on listening to music you don't hear on the radio? Every once in a while you find a hidden gem that you just love. This CD is one of those. Great style and good lyrics with an old school feel. Reminds me of the good old days when life was easy. Buy it, relax and enjoy !!
Wow! Finally some REAL music to listen to!
Reviewer: Steve
Finally something worth listening to! This CD has it all, from fun rock [Knock the Ball (Outta the Park)] and Been There Before, to thought-provoking ballads like This Table and Give Sorrow Words. A 70's style that truely fits in the new Millennium and worth every penny!
Takes you back to a great time and place!!
Reviewer: MaryJean
The music is sweet...close your eyes and you're immediately transformed back to a time of rich memories. Sit back, relax and listen. It's worth the trip!
Good compilation of songs on this CD!
Reviewer: Jackie K
The lyrics have meaning to them and most of us can relate to them. Acoustics and vocals are exceptional!
Reviewer: Sue
Love the originality of the lyrics and the music, especially Knock the Ball Outta the Park.
The sound keep you coming back for more!
Reviewer: Tom RIntoul
My first listen was for roughly 2 minutes on my laptop player. The next 3 minutes were on my laptop with the headphones I immediately plugged in. The remainder of the CD was listened to on my home system after giving Ryan Michael Galloway: Also Known As a permanent spot in my Sony CD carousel. The CD brings back melodies from some of my past favorites and adds a new and very interesting twist to them that I can share with my children. Seldom do you get the sound quality and content in a CD that you can listen to from one end to the other without pause. This one is a keeper.
Fun!
Reviewer: Collette
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this CD. The vocals were great, and the music was upbeat, entertaining, and full of talent. Sure to become one of my favorites!
Great blend of easy-listening and rock
Reviewer: Joe
Man on the Moon brings back those great memories of sitting in my beanbag chair, with my headphones on, listening closely to every word, so I could sing along with the artist. This CD reminds me of the earlier James Taylor classics.
A true pleasure
Reviewer: Rob H., in Milwaukee
I took a close listen to this CD and found it extraordinary in every regard. The songwriting was superb--"formulaic", but with enough twists and surprises to make the songs truly his, interesting, and unique. The vocals were exceptional, especially on the ballads, where I thought he really shined. I love the harmony guitar leads. The recording and mastering was top shelf - I wouldn't have asked to adjust a single fader - (unusual for my critical "engineering" ear.) A true pleasure. My favorite has to be River O’ Running, and I can relate to Tradewinds.
A collection of songs I'll listen to again and again.
Reviewer: Cathy H.
My first impressions of the songs bring memories of great singer songwriters such as Jackson Browne and Justin Hayward's solo work without the Moody Blues. Both favorites of mine. This is definitely a collection of songs I will listen to again and again; an outstanding job! I don't know what else to say, except I enjoyed it tremendously.
Excellent, evocative
Reviewer: Karen
Wonderful songs that really touched me. I especially love Round This Table. The songs and the music really speak to our times and what we're all going through. The last song on the CD is an especially beautiful love song. Ryan Michael Galloway plays the guitar and sings beautifully. I recommend this CD without reservations.
