Easy Tiger

Ryan Adams is impossible really: wilfully slip-shod, prone to cliché, desperately unfashionable. But against all better judgement, you get the feeling that he’s worthy of some indulgence.

Ryan Adams’ third album in the space of a year is a meditation on his 20s, with each of the nine songs representing a year of his life from 21 to his current age of 29 – apparently he didn’t think 20 counted as he still felt like he was 19.

Cold Roses

There’s a danger that someone who tries to be everything to everyone – a country crooner for Mary-Lou, a rocker for Sadie – ends up meaning not much to anybody.

To Hell And Back

When Ryan Adams gave his record company an album called 'Love Is Hell', they declined to release this “fucking dark, twisted sad and morose” record. so Adams decided instead to record a loud, punky, uptempo album called 'Rock N Roll'. and guess what? now we get to hear both.

Ryan Adams

Adams cannot sustain the pace. He asks too much of his songs, hoping against hope that they will be strong enough to succeed in spite of his paltry efforts
