Here I Am
Tom Dunne, 21 Jun 2002
Hard to believe this is the same man that made ‘Heartbreaker’ and ‘Gold’ and used to be in Whiskeytown. I jest obviously but you’ve no idea how hard it is to find interesting things to say about Ryan Adams. Ryan is a seasoned songwriter and wrote this for the movie ‘Spirit’: Stallion Of The Cimarron for which I am sure it is perfectly adequate. The Lord knows there’s nothing more exciting than an adequate song.

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.

Good news for fans who have lately doubted the wisdom of their initial investment. Ryan Adams could just be on the rise once more.
2005-10-24 - REVIEW
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. So while Adams’ post Whiskeytown affairs have been inconsistent in terms of style and quality, Cold Roses is a return to the form that made him famous.

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.

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

Tipped as a man who would (could) be king in the alt. country arena for his band Whiskeytown, this slight departure is altogether a less frantic affair.
