Ryan Bingham is Back in Dallas to Promote His Line of Bourbon

Ryan Bingham recently returned to Dallas in order to promote his line of bourbon. Best known for his role as Walker at Dutton Ranch in Yellowstone, this visit marks a hugely important event.

Bingham was raised by a nomadic family that never settled for too long in any one place, reflecting this in his music from 2007’s major-label debut Mescalito to 2016’s American Love Song.

Born in New Mexico

Bingham was born in Hobbs, New Mexico and spent his childhood moving around from town to town while his father worked in the oil fields. Eventually he began competing as a rodeo cowboy while picking up guitar on his travels – his debut albums Mescalito and Roadhouse Sun were critically acclaimed; additionally he co-wrote one of Crazy Heart’s songs “The Weary Kind,” which won both an Academy Award and Golden Globe Award.

Bingham has an intoxicating voice, mixing country, folk and rock ‘n’ roll into his songs that tell stories of survival and sacrifice. His worn-weary tones convey an older fighter with more experience yet the energy of someone half his age; creating an engaging musical combination that defies classification.

Raised in West Texas

Bingham grew up in Hobbs, New Mexico and spent his early childhood wandering the rugged West Texas oil fields between rodeo competitions and day labor jobs. Born into a family suffering from drug abuse, his life became even more uncertain when his parents divorced; then came music. Bingham eventually found his calling – winning several awards including an Academy Award nomination for “The Weary Kind,” featured in Jeff Bridges’ 2009 movie Crazy Heart.

This song tells the tale of a man struggling with addiction and personal demons, yet managing to stay afloat by singing songs about redemption and perseverance. His music has been described as honky-tonk masquerade of restless West Texas fervor and barreling boogie-woogie; and has even found fame playing as ranch hands on TV series Yellowstone; now an established star performing to packed houses wherever he performs!

Known for his haunting vocals

Bingham’s gravelly, cigarette-toasted voice sells American Love Song like it were his personal narrative; or at least possible. His transient lifestyle allowed him to absorb an array of influences ranging from Cajun culture along western Louisiana’s border, hardcore hip-hop in Houston and Mexican immigrant songs on American Love Song.

He may not be at the vanguard of a new genre, but his unorthodox spirit has earned him an avid following. From small theaters to ballrooms, his performances draw an enthusiastic and knowledgeable crowd who help educate newcomers on his vast music catalog.

His latest album is American Love Song

Bingham first garnered national acclaim through his songs in 2009 movie Crazy Heart, earning critical acclaim with each new release and drawing audiences into stories about family and broader American culture. Since then he has focused his energy on exploring his family history as well as bigger issues through six albums dedicated to his Texas country roots – never stepping away from controversial issues like guns or abortion.

Bingham’s latest, Watch Out for the Wolf, is more polished than his earlier efforts but still sounds like a bedroom project – programmed drum tracks make their appearance, while songwriting remains lacking any real innovation or creativity.

Bingham draws his musical inspiration from many sources, such as Tejano music from his Mexican neighbor in Houston, local hip-hop from UGK and Cajun cooking from his Creole grandmother. Additionally, his own experiences such as life on the rodeo circuit and grieving the loss of both parents have served to shape this album‘s content; trying to convey a sense of urgency through song.
