"Ride On / Right On" comes from Muchacho, the sixth Phosphorescent album, released on Dead Oceans in March 2013, and it's about as close to a one-man band as a rock record gets. Matthew Houck, the man behind the Phosphorescent name, wrote the music and the words, sang it, played guitar, organ and percussion, produced it, mixed it, and engineered it with Phil Joly. The only other player on the credits is Jeffrey Bailey, on bass.
Houck drew the album's lyrics from what happened to him after he came off the road touring 2010's Here's to Taking It Easy, and this one's slashed, doubled-up title reads like a rallying cry.
