Ryan Adams

Gold

Editor's Review:

Take the gravel of a young Tom Waits, the tender delicacy of Neil Young, the rich vocal body of Otis Redding and the rasp of Rod Stewart, grind them together and you get a close approximation to the expansive timbre of Ryan Adams. His music is dusty with classic rock influence, mostly from the irreverent balls-out splendor of the Rolling Stones and the whimsical lilt of Dylan and The Band. Meld this with fantastic visually graphic lyrics like "…all in time to the music / That dances like fools set on fire / Flailing their arms in a room full of whores," and you have a simply dazzling album. With Bourbon-soaked country soul, Adams winds loaded dirty tales through the smoke-filled haze of heady alt-country rock 'n' roll.

Ryan Adams
Bio[+]
After dropping out of high school in the 10th grade to pursue his music career (at that time, a punk band named Patti Duke Syndrome), Ryan Adams found his audience and his voice with the seminal alt-country band Whiskeytown. Since the demise of that band, Adams has re-cast himself as the quintessential volatile singer/songwriter, working with just about every popular recording artist and producer in the music field. He released his first solo album, Heartbreaker in 2000, and quickly followed it with the jubilant and well-received Gold a year later.
