Artist: Ryan Larkins
Single: "King of Country Music"
Writers: Ryan Larkins, Will Duvall, JR McCoy
Label: Red Street Records
Impact Date: November 27th, 2023
The debut single for singer-songwriter Ryan Larkins will be shipped to radio this Friday (also DSP release date). It's also impacting on November 27th.
Ryan's music is a throwback to early 2000's country. Reminds me a lot of Joe Nichols and Trace Adkins, circa 2002-2005. Been in Nashville a while and lots of support/respect in town. He's great.
Live, acoustic version:

Yep definitely has the Joe Nichols sound here. Looking forward to hearing the full band version.

This is just ok. I found his voice to be pretty average, honestly. I appreciate traditional leaning, but this just fell flat for me.

I guess the production is pretty traditional, but that's the only thing that stands out. It is not a bad song, but very weak and forgettable. I would be surprised if this does anything on the radio.

I love this song. It looks like he’s been doing a pretty big radio tour so that combined with the stations already on should get him a strong start and hopefully the biggest hit for the label (which isn’t saying much).

Second most added with 36 adds and 46 total stations.
Very strong start for Ryan and with this having a lot of audience already it may chart soon as well.

Very surprised to see radio's early interest in this song. Again, it is not a bad tune, but it is quite faceless and forgettable, melodically or vocally.
