Today on NPR's Song of the Day, Harlem-via-Georgia soulman Ryan Shaw brings his "honeyed tenor with a gritty underside" to a Jerry Ragovoy-penned '60s gem "You Don't Know Nothing About Love." NPR says, "With big-haired U.K. stars like Adele dominating the soul world, Shaw serves up a reminder that there's still room for pure American soul." Listen at NPR:

On April 26, Shaw will preview songs from 'Real Love' at an intimate NYC show at Rockwood Music Hall, then hits NYC's Webster Hall on May 18 supporting JJ Grey & Mofro. More dates will be announced soon.
For a taste of Ryan's live show, watch these two live videos of new songs Ryan recently filmed without the help of auto tune or studio magic:
