Single Review: Richard Lynch “Radio Friend”

“Radio Friend” is an intimate track about friendship. Richard Lynch tells the story of his friend, radio DJ, and esteemed country artist Ray “Chubby” Howard. You can hear each and every important moment in their friendship in the verses of this song. I always appreciate a song whose lyrics are direct in their reference, and avoid being vague in nature. It’s not easy to communicate imagery as clearly as Lynch does here. Especially when weaving it into the creative boundaries of songwriting. Lynch does this effortlessly. As you listen, you start to develop a sense of who “Chubby” was, and you find yourself wondering what it would have been like to listen to his broadcasts, or hear his music.

Musically, this track strings together that classic telecaster twang underneath a singing, steel six string played presumably by Lynch. There’s a richness in Richard Lynch’s vocals that almost gives you the feeling of sitting on your grandfather’s knee. There’s a comfort to it. It’s secure. I particularly appreciate the chorus of this song. It’s true to the inspiration of the piece. It’s memorable and singable for the everyday listener.

Something in the totality of this track reminds me of last call at my favorite local bar. The farewell bid that Lynch offers to his friend offers a sense of finality with a promise of meeting again in the future. And for those who knew “Chubby” I think they’ll return to this song time and time again for years to come. It’s an honor of his life while also showing Lynch’s skill in this corner of songwriting.

Lynch is an artist you won’t want to miss out on as the years tick by. He gives you the sense that he’s always been there, and always will be. Catch “Radio Friend” streaming on repeat in January of 2022.
