This dude is the real deal. Has the mind and heart of an artist. So articulate, thoughtful, insightful and talented. I dig it - thanks paste for bringing this to us
hawktom Yeah like how Ruston Kelly invites his dad n sister on tour n also in the recording studio not only to support his dream but to also share the dream of making good music professionally right along side of him! Like when artists have their families with them if they too are musicians or musically talented!
For me...Dying Star is an amazing collection of songs... Have had it since January ( I think) and I am finding it hard to turn it off... beautifully produced.... Really looking forward to the next Ruston Kelly music...
I'm so pissed at myself for not subscribing to Paste. If I had, would have been able to hear one of my favorite singer/songwriters, Ruston Kelly! Just missed him by a couple of hours! Dude is so underrated! His writing is articulate, raw n vulnerable! He's not afraid to have the vulnerability come through when he writes a song n he does it without losing a drop of masculinity. Ruston is the only male writer who is able to write like that n turn out song after song that is just flawless in-depth n cohesive. Have to feel something when I listen to any artist, if I don't, why bother listening to them in the first place. The one thing Ruston knows how to do is make folks feel. Also, love how he doesn't take himself too seriously sometimes. Can take super intense subject matter n to have a good laugh at it, like with Faceplant n also his signature song, Asshole! Glad he spoke to that on here. Actually can make us laugh at ourselves cause what guy hasn't felt or experienced the same at one point in his life about what he writes about in Asshole. We've all messed up at one point or another n the discover just us being assholes, lol! The album n EP speaks for itself. The talent he has is remarkable for someone who is just 30 years old. Amazing how he can articulate the feelings he has about his own stuff but also what he feels about being the one looking in on others stuff too. His EP Halloween, with the songs Black Magic n Poison, damn gives me the chills every time I listen to those songs! Just like Dying Star, the entire album is fantastic! Truly believe something is wrong here this guy should b all over the damn radio n be playing large venues with his voice n songwriting talent! Sounds better live than the damn recording. Don't believe he requires autotune. N love how you can hear Johnny Cash n Jackson Brown come through his pipes on both the EP Halloween n on the Dying Star album. Knew he was a huge Cash fan n wondered until today if he was influenced by Jackson Brown. Never get tired of listening to his music! Just wish he had a better team promoting him so others too can hear how damn good this guy is!
Hey Jerry. Love the hashtag/phrase about "music is my only drug!!!" I'm a singer/songwriter and music is what makes me even wanna wake up in the morning. (Not that you asked, obviously.) I mainly wanted to say that (a little over a year ago now...) I decided to get another tattoo, and actually wound up getting the phrase, "Music is My Painkiller," across the length of my right forearm. Double meaning in it for me, because I'm also SIX YEARS CLEAN & SOBER this year. Free of a 15+ year long SEVERE addiction to pain pills, which then ultimately led me to injecting heroin the last year/year and a half of my "using."
@@EyeHaveaDream Donna thank YOU for sharing. That is truly amazing that YOU were able to overcome that. I have no real understanding of the strength it takes to battle through that but YOU have my utmost respect for doing it.

Class act. His songs are so heartbreaking and so real. I love the liner notes/song explanations in the cd.

Chills the whole time. Simply beautiful, thanks for this.
Something mesmerizing about family singing together. Can't replicate the tonality of blood. Bravo, Kelly's! Keep doing your thing, Ruston.
So incredible artist, beautiful voice, extremely talented, funny and he’s gorgeous. Damn instant crush ❤️

Smooth as silk. Go Ruston!

I love how this has 7k views. People just missing out. We’ll keep it to ourselves...
...and ten months later it's at 12k. It should (easily) have 10x that. This is something else.
Lovely.
#MusicIsMyOnlyDrug completely addicted to RK and his voice & music

I wish he had played one more song.
Does anyone know what tuning he’s using?
Sounds like some kind of open tuning. Maybe open D or C.
Usually Open D, I think
Angel tuning
