High risk, low reward

"On High Risk, Low Reward Perry brings a staccato, Hendrix-esque cover of the blues standard "Evil is Going On." To me it takes enormous huevos to cover such a classic, and even bigger ones to interpret it the way Perry has done, but he's not afraid to take the music past where he found it. "The blues has changed in the past twenty years," he considers. "What will it sound like in twenty more?" If it sounds anything like what Ryan is putting out, there is no fear in my heart for the genre's continuation and good health".

"Perry lets us explore his feelings about life, love and relationships here as he moves his music from the stuff from his Homemade Jamz Band to a darker and more poignant style. This more mature musician and his work is quite good; he is one of the leaders of a new generation of blues musicians who will move the blues along while remaining in touch and in synch with the roots of the music. I enjoyed this album and recommend it highly!".
