Bottle of Blues


I'm not gonna lie, I fucking love this asshole. He always looks dishelved or as if he just finished a handle of jack and a pack of cigarettes. And such a persona comes across on record. And we all know a few Ryan Adams'. You know, the guy with the haircut, and the jeans, and the tiny t-shirt. Thin and hip too cool to talk to you, but he will cause somehow you wound up in his circle. Lucky you.

At the same time your Ryan can be slightly emotional, somewhat vulnerable, and just damn sad. [which will, more times than not be mistakened for apathy.] Just more to love.

Word on the street is Ryan plans on releasing a mountain of cd's again this year trying everyone's patience and pocketbook, but somehow in the midst of it all he has found the time to get his Jack White on and produce an album for a country/folk legend. Be on the look out for Willie Nelson's Songbird, produced entirely by Mr. Adams himself and backed by his new pet project the Cardinals. Several of the tracks are covers [including the obligatory cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah.]and are sure to be nothing short of stellar. If all goes well, it could be this year's Van Lear Rose. Stay tuned.
