Curt Ryle

b. Duncan, Oklahoma, USA. Ryle was raised in Broken Bow, but moved to Nashville in 1985 to attempt to break into the country scene. He is a singer-songwriter, who also plays electric guitar, steel guitar and dobro, but he has enjoyed most success writing for other artists. The songs Ryle has placed include ‘Storm In The Heartland’ (Billy Ray Cyrus), ‘The Real McCoy’ (George Jones), ‘Mirrors Don’t Lie’ (Gene Watson) and several songs for Clinton Gregory (‘Master Of Illusion’, ‘Dying One Shot At A Time’, ‘Sad Out Of Saturday Night’). He has also played guitar on records by George Jones and Pam Tillis and has produced Pam’s father, Mel Tillis. Ryle’s 1999 debut, Life Time Guarantee, was very much in the George Jones vein. © TiVo
