Securing a new copy of modern-day Bluegrass legend Dan Tyminski’s Live From The Ryman on vinyl is as close as a music fan can get to experiencing the band on stage in real time. With the release of physical copies of Tyminski’s latest concert album, vinyl listeners will get the warm sound reproduction they’ve loved for years with a dynamic range impeccably suited for the world-class band of pickers backing up one of the genre’s most recognizable voices. Released digitally on August 16th of this year via 8 Track Entertainment and ADA/Warner Music Group, Dan Tyminski: Live From The Ryman received widespread critical acclaim. The Bluegrass Situation called him “Legendary,” Folk Alley wrote, “The recording captures the energy, intimacy, and excitement of the night, and Tyminski and his band shine brightly on this collection of songs and tunes,” and Bluegrass Today said, “This is an album that can be enjoyed by longtime fans of Tyminski’s work as well as those who are just familiarizing themselves with it. It’s without question a strong representation of his and his band’s artistry.”
Recorded in Nashville at the Ryman Auditorium—the legendary venue known as "The Birthplace of Bluegrass"—the new album showcases the sharp songwriting, full-throttle vocals, and guitar chops that have powered Tyminski's music for decades. It's also a showcase for his ace band, a young group of fiery flat-pickers, hotshot instrumentalists, and harmony singers whose sheer talent is matched only by the band's frontman. The result is a blend of old and new: a record that makes room for traditional influences, progressive energy, cover songs, originals, and unreleased material.

More About Dan Tyminski: Live From The Ryman: "The musicians in this band grew up listening to my music, so they know my stuff much better than I do!" Tyminski says. "If you listen to how they play and how well they listen to each other, you'll notice there's a conversation going back and forth at all times."
That conversation springs to life during instrumental numbers like "Cumberland Gap," where the audience roars its approval after each solo. It continues with live renditions of "Ode to Jimmy" (a tribute to Tyminski's childhood hero, Jimmy Martin), "Silence in the Brandy" (which examines the lingering effects of PTSD on soldiers returning home from war), and "GOAT" — all of which appeared on God Fearing Heathen, which debuted at Number 1 on the Billboard Bluegrass chart in 2023—and breathes new life into older material like the aforementioned "This Sad Song," which Tyminski first performed on Alison Krauss & Union Station's Grammy-winning Lonely Runs Both Ways. On "Whiskey Drinking Man," Tyminski sings about hard liquor with a commanding voice that reaches all the way to the rearmost rows of the Ryman, then cedes the spotlight to mandolinist Harry Clark, fiddler Maddie Denton, Dobro player Gaven Largent, banjoist Jason Davis, and upright bassist Grace Davis. There's also a standout performance of "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow," the career-changing song that won a Grammy Award in 2002 and has since served as a bridge for multiple generations of music fans, helping them discover their own love of bluegrass and traditional folk music.
