Ryan Langdon: Buck Wild

The rising country star returns with a new party-hearty cut featuring virile vocals and sizzling guitar.

Ryan Langdon: Buck Wild

By Kerry Doole

Ryan Langdon - Buck Wild (Slaight Music): The Niagara Falls, ON, country singer has been making a splash on the Canadian scene, as evidenced by his 2019 nomination for the Country Music Association of Ontario Rising Star Award.


His high-energy cut Lit In The Sticks grabbed attention, and now he's back with a new rockin' country track that sounds like a hit to these ears. Both songs were co-written by Langdon and the dynamic songwriting duo of Nashville-based Canadians Emma Lee and Karen Kosowski, and they clearly have a creative chemistry going on.

Buck Wild's theme is of payday partying, and we love the lines "someone call NASA, cos this night is going off like a rocket." Langdon's beefy voice fits perfectly, and some searing guitar kicks it into overdrive. Ideal for playing loud at your solo patio party in these socially isolated times.

Billboard Canada FYI Bulletin: Platinum Blonde's 'Alien Shores' Goes 8X Platinum Just In Time for Tour with Billy Idol

The early MuchMusic favourites have reunited and are celebrating their renewed fame with a 13-city Canadian tour.

In five years during the mid-'80s, Platinum Blonde became the poster boys for the early MuchMusic generation. They had their own look, sound and a modest-sized catalogue that in its day sold about a million albums and singles before their career dimmed and eventually, faded to black.

In 2010, a cross-generational cover of their 1983 hit "Not In Love" by Crystal Castles with The Cure frontman Robert Smith brought them renewed relevance. The same year, they were inducted into the Music and Broadcast Industry Hall of Fame.
