Song Review: "Outrun the Devil" By Ryland Fisher

Using the same wide-open, Southwestern imagery he introduced us to in ‘Space,’ this troubadour’s prayer truly illuminates Ryland Fisher’s storytelling and lyrical bite. Every detail in this acoustic ballad points back to the anguish of the song: like the way his vocal wants to linger a bit in the lyric before, and he’s fighting to pull it forward. The visuals, emotion, and, ultimately, the frustration of ‘Outrun the Devil’ will be running through your memory long after you’re done listening.
