New York, NY (Top40 Charts) This Friday, May 6, Nashville's Ryan Beaver will release his anticipated new album Rx. The album has been embraced by outlets such as CMT, Stereogum, NPR Music, Rolling Stone Country, and is now premiering in its entirety at American Songwriter.
Stream the album here:
Late last year, Stereogum premiered his single "Dark" and called it "the strongest country song I've hear all year." The track became the impetus for the writing and recording of the album, and stemmed from a challenging time in his life when he lost his grandfather, a close friend, a subsequently a relationship in a short period of time.
You can watch the video for Beaver's single "Dark" on CMT.
Rolling Stone Country named Beaver one of "10 Country Artists You Need To Know," and also premiered his single "Rum and Roses."

Music shared the album's closing song "If I Had A Horse" as a "Songs We Love." Jewly Hight said "'Horse' concludes Beaver's new album RX, with stark, demo-like vulnerability� The remainder of the dozen tracks perform similarly visceral emotional work, albeit with a livelier combination of
Music Row proficiency, singer-songwriter/ roots-rock earthiness and digital punch.
Rx was co-produced by Beaver along with longtime friends Jeremy Spillman and Ryan Tyndell (both of whom have worked with Eric Church,
Nikki Lane, and
Little Big Town). Within the past year, Beaver has toured with artists such as
Ashley Monroe and Lee Ann Womack.
