Experience the Depth of Worship, Inspiration, and Hope in Seattle-Based Christian Rock/Pop Singer Ryan Graves’ New Project Titled “Legacy.”

This is Ryan Graves’ “Legacy,” a journey that started 30 years ago and has seen him grow, love, lose, triumph, fail, win again, and most importantly, give his life to Christ. Formerly “J.R.” Graves, Ryan has been a Seattle-based Christian rock and pop singer since 1993, and his new project “Legacy” is music that spans the three decades he has been in the music industry.

“Legacy” actually means the world to him… this is all the music he made when he started out—a 17-track compilation with three brand new additions. A project that reflects his own artistry, his love for Christ and his family, and the way he has grown into the very embodiment that his lovely wife saw in him; a husband, father, protector, and hero.

So sit back, enjoy these eclectic songs that are full of spirit as you experience the depths of worship, fellowship, and unstoppable testimonies and victories.

The track “Fly” was originally recorded in 1999, and the one you get to enjoy here is a rewritten and remastered version that really takes you places. Ryan’s voice—believe me, is it just perfection? His voice is so golden and heavenly, and when he sings, floodgates of emotions are opened from within the listener, who gets sucked into the performance naturally.

“Fly” starts with a delightfully charming, mellow guitar that sets the tone for the tune. Graves signature country-inspired melodies and songwriting style exude a fresh perspective.

The moderate tempo and gentle groove provide solid support for Ryan’s gracious vocals, as he sings with a mature tone imbued with hopeful inspiration. Lyrically, this tune finds comfort and strength in God to overcome tragedy and loss. While our time on earth is temporary, this journey finds hope in everlasting presence of God. The lyrics are profoundly touching; the message and purpose of the song are even more fulfilling!

And I have to say I found it fascinating how tracks like “Fly”, “Embrace” and “Scarlet” are over 5 minutes long and they don’t actually feel like it. And that is how you know they are indescribably good tunes that you could listen to over and over again without getting tired of them.

“To Know You” starts with an intimate and conversational verse quotation from the book of John 17:3 before the buoyant drum fill that gives it that edge of rock kick in. Full of soul and a tremendous amount of spirit, this track is a brilliantly blues fueled, gospel-inspired slow rocker that blends accomplished performances with a clear devotion to the theme that runs through it about the ups and downs of our relationship with God and even how Christ has remained steadfast in his everlasting love despite Ryan (humans) failing him on countless occasions and falling short of his grace and mercy.

“Enough for Me” features relentless instrumentation and bold lyricism that exalt the name of Jesus and his everlasting love, grace, and mercy. Ryan gives a fantastic performance that is steeped in both purpose and a deep level of conviction. And that chorus right there pulls the listener into a stupor!

Uplifting, inspiring, and deeply moving, “Legacy” is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face and sometimes teardrops to your eyes.

I humbly ask of you to please take time from the chaos of your busy day to listen to this album; it is worth every minute of your time!
