Ryan Adams Self Titled album 9/9/2014

Love the new single, look forward to the album!

 

I HATE Pax-Am and their idiotic "limited releases."

 

I'm with you on that. Something new is always released and sold out while I'm at work.

 

I saw him on the Cold Roses tour as well, in Ashville NC. Fantastic show. And there was a moment when he visibly and audibly made some remark to the drummer who then threw his sticks and stormed off stage.

 

Why? I love it. Even though I miss most of them, as a large RA fan, I enjoy the hunt and collecting something rare and valuable when I do get one.

 

Gotta disagree with this. Huge fan of Ryan, I have pretty much everything officially released album wise except Orion and the Live after Deaf sets. Plus, have tons of unreleased sessions that hold some real gems that have yet to officially see the light of day.

But I just can't be assed chasing down these limited edition singles and overpaying for them when there is absolutely no need for them to be limited. I don't care for something to possibly be valuable down the line, I just want to listen to the music, is that not the point?

Oh well, I guess the album will not be limited, will have to make do with that.

Vinyl collecting is fun. For me it is about the hunt and about the music. Instant gratification is for the digital realm. You have a choice to participate or not and that is a good thing b/c its obvious you do not enjoy the hunt.

 

I couldn't agree more

 

Oh, I get the collecting part, I hung on to buying new albums on vinyl well into the early 90's probably much later than most who had moved to CD and I still have every one. It was always more about the music for me than the actual accumulating or the rarity, but I do get it.

I don't download (well hardly ever) and don't stream at all, it's pretty much CD's all the way for me when buying new music, so will be buying Ryan's new album on CD as I cannot justify spending double on the vinyl version when I have other priorities these days like my young daughter. I would have bought these 7" singles as well if any of the songs weren't to be on the album, and they were easy to get in the UK, but won't lose any sleep over it and it's Ryan that's losing out on the cash (I'm sure he can afford it ).

 

I can't wait for the album so I'll just make due with that. I sure I can stream the single and hear it somewhere.

 

Reo Speedwagon?!!? Not in the least bit. It is, however, one of the best tunes I've heard from Ryan Adams in the last three or so albums he's released. Hoping the new album is equally as good. I never understood the love Ashes And Fire got, because I found that record to be pretty much of a snooze fest. Tried repeatedly to get into it, but I never did warm to it. Wish I could have seen his show here in Maine the other night, but couldn't get the night off.

 

I see this is coming out on Blue Note vinyl, any thoughts on that. Current Blue Note vinyl has not been to my liking.

 

Anyone see this from the Rolling Stone? Luv this dood...

Ryan Adams' Road to Recovery

 

Because slow music can be good too.

 

I was listening to Ashes and Fire on a drive late at night last night. I absolutely love that album!

 

I have no issue with slow music, and generally prefer much of Ryan's more mellow stuff. I guess the point I was trying to make is that I thought that album was more boring than anything else. Three years on, I still can't recall one memorable tune off of it. Meanwhile "Something Good", a tune that is both slow and rocks, has been stuck in my head for weeks.

 

Horses for courses.

 

I love ashes and fire. I think it's one of his best albums! I like gimme something good but I also know deep down it's a cheap track.

By that I mean that the chorus and riffs are very repeating. I'm fine with that and really enjoy listening to it, but as of now I would say that ashes and fire album lyrics and chord progressions are much better written.

I was at the show. Solid and tight, nice selection of tunes he played ... in a magnificent setting

 

UK dates go on sale this week. London, Manchester & Glasgow royal concert hall. End September. I'm a huge fan, seen him 6 times since 2003.

 

Thanks for sharing--been listening to this today at work. Love the Michael McDonald impression and his song to his keyboardist.

 

PAX-AM is absolutely lame and I have been a big supporter of Ryan since 1997. I mostly don't have reason to complain. I have been able to buy some of these singles and I got my hands on a Live after Deaf set. With that being said, I think everyone should have the ability to grab at least these singles. The big box set I get being limited. Fine, but the singles? No way. On top of that when you do finally get to buy one, the shipping shouldn't be more than what it cost to buy the damn record. That has to be the biggest irritant of them all in this age of brick and mortar-less buying.

I'm not sure if I like the new single yet, but I'll be giving it another spin shortly.

 

Don't overthink it, not much subtlety to it, turn it up and enjoy the sound. <assuming you have the 45 >
