GRIT GREASE & TEARS -2017 GRAMMY BALLOT FOR BEST CONTEMPORARY BLUES ALBUM
Born outside Chicago, Deb began appearing on stage as a young teen at her step father’s famous nightclub The Topanga Corral, where she opened for such blues legends as Etta James, Big Joe Turner and Taj Mahal to name a few. Deb’s vocals have been described as big, devastatingly powerful, whiskey soaked, a force of nature, reminiscent of her major influences Etta James and Koko Taylor. Deb's stage presence is captivating while her amazing vocals take the audience to new levels of enjoyment. Her standout performances have garnered awards and critical acclaim at festivals and venues throughout the US, Canada and Europe. She writes all her own material and the lyrics paint a gritty, personal picture of life, love and trouble with just a well crafted touch of whimsy.
"Glorious vocals by Deb Ryder - Let It Rain is a treat from start to finish, and well worthy of your attention!" GRAHAME RHODES - BLUES IN THE NORTHWEST
Her highly anticipated debut album “Might Just Get Lucky” was a hit, garnering rave reviews and acclaim. Written, arranged performed and produced by Ryder, she came out swinging and showed she has what it takes and a real future in blues music. The CD was selected by the Southern California Blues Society to represent as their entry for the IBC Best Self Produced Debut Album Category in 2013.
Her second release "Let It Rain" was recorded at Ultratone Studios with the legendary and award winning engineer / mixer Johnny Lee Schell at the helm. Produced by Grammy Award winning producer Tony Braunagel, this album features the absolute A-List of renowned players in the genre who bring a fresh energy and powerful sound. All eleven songs are originals by Ryder, and are a celebration of the blues from classic to modern, Chicago to New Orleans. This release premiered out of the gate at # 19 on the esteemed Living Blues Chart-April 2015, and #2 on the Roots Music Report and Blues Debut Top 50 Blues albums . The release stayed in the top 50 for several months! Ranked #1 on Blues 411 and #2 on Les Collectif Des Radios Blues, and chosen as the number one pick in the UK! Then the release made the 2016 Grammy Ballot in the Best Blues Album category! The reviews have been stellar and the acclaim keeps coming!
Grit Grease & Tears is the third studio album from blues great and multi award nominee Deb Ryder, featuring twelve new original songs that stand together as a testament to her spirit and commitment to the genre. The record covers a broad spectrum of styles and is a journey full of energy, serving up a savory blend of R&B, soul, funk and roots based blues as only Deb can deliver. Her critically acclaimed powerhouse vocals are supported by the mastery of Grammy Award winning producer Tony Braunagel, and an A-list group of musicians. Grit Grease & Tears offers Deb Ryder’s signature arrangements and impeccable songwriting. You can expect her to continue to imprint her mark on the blues world now and in the future.
ENJOY THE RIDE, the fourth studio album by multi-award nominee and powerhouse singer-songwriter DEB RYDER, is undoubtedly her most outstanding record yet. Produced by Grammy Award winner Tony Braunagel and Executive producer Ric Ryder, it shines like a beacon as the next level in the progression of an artist that has what it takes to deliver on all fronts. The thirteen original tracks by Ryder take you on a sonic journey that weaves seamlessly through multiple blues styles,
back-porch, hill country, gospel stomp, R&B, and beautifully evocative ballads, with Ryder’s sublime vocals at the helm. Served up in her distinctive stye, this record embraces current social issues, while maintaining all blues traditions. ENJOY THE RIDE serves up driving grooves with an all-star rhythm section, smoldering guitar, genius B3 and haunting harmonica. Ryder is supported by an impressive array of some of the finest luminaries in the genre, including Tony Braunagel, Chris Cain, Debbie Davies, Mike Finnigan, Kirk Fletcher, Big Llou Johnson, Coco Montoya, Johnny Lee Schell and Pieter (Big Pete) van/der Pluijm.
“Anyone who is able to write, sing and arrange at such a quality and consistent level is definitely the real article. She surrounds her powerful voice with first call instrumentalists. Her vocal ability puts her among those great female blues singers that preceded her. She has ascended to the higher ranks of the blues elite.”
— GREG “BLUESDOG” SZALONY, - BLUES BLAST MAGAZINE
