Ha, Cheers. Dunno why I never gave his stuff after Demolition much time, just got in to other stuff I guess, then Tried giving Easy Tiger a listen when it came out but didn't take to it and sort of fell out of making myself listen to his new stuff.

A news-less update unfortunately but, incase anybody had forgotten, the two best things on the Internet:

Never knew there was a Ryan Adams thread!

Love is Hell pt 1&2 is the best thing he has released in my opinion.... Avalache, Hotel Chelsea Nights, World War 24, I See Monsters, the man is just a genius!

However I do think between 2004-2008 he could have done with some quality control. Most singer-songwriters would have taken most of that time off to write the true follow-up to the LIH EP's, instead he releases 5 albums (one of which is a double album!) in a short space and inevitably the quality suffers. I know he was with the Cardinals at this point but still....... I mean Cold Roses was very good as was 29 but the rest were not in the same league as Heartbreaker, Gold and LIH (I do not count Rock N' Roll because it was written and recorded in about a week and to be honest sounds like it). I can't help but think if he'd have condenced the 6 disks of music he produced during that period into 2 albums they'd have been phenonminal and his body of work would have been flawless. He was my favourite artist around 2003 but by 2007 even I hadn't got round to buying everything he was producing such was the speed!

New stuff from Adams, at long, long, last - Gimme Something Good:

Always hard to pin Ryan Adams down but, presuming this is arriving ahead of news of a full lp, I'd suggest we're in for something similar to the sound of 'Easy Tiger'.

Anybody going to the Manchester show (or any others)?

Gold and Love Is Hell are absolutely immense albums.

La Cienega Just Smiled gets me every time, what a tune.

New album streaming, as mentioned in the 2014 music discussion.

Am avoiding, for now

Listen to Ryan Adams's self-titled new album – his first since 2011

Fourteen years after his debut, the alt-rock singer, once hailed as ‘the new Gram Parsons’, marks his return with a self-produced, self-titled album. Let us know what you make of it

Fourteen years after his debut Heartbreaker, and 14 albums later, Ryan Adams releases his self-titled and self-produced new record next week.

It is by no means the singer’s first venture into the personal and introspective, but the album title alone suggests a heightened and restored sense of being. After all, in the past five years the artist has been impacted by all manners of life-altering occurrences. Once known for his volatile outbursts and alcoholism, Adams is now sober, married and has overcome Ménière’s disease, a debilitating inner-ear condition that threatened his career.

During the time since 2011’s Ashes & Fire, Adams – no stranger to self-sabotage – also reportedly spent $100,000 recording an album that never saw the light of day, scrapping songs created with legendary producer Glyn Johns and instead recruiting bassist Tal Wilkenfeld and a drummer he found at a local record store to start from scratch in Adams’s Pax Am studio in Los Angeles. “I was like, ‘I’ll go in with a couple bros at seven o’clock and just jam. We would, like, smoke a bowl and drink some tea – and the words came free-flowing out of me,’” Adams told Rolling Stone. “It gives me chills just talking about it.”

The end result is a collection of burly, electric-guitar-laden drive-time rock anthems. Take a listen to the album below and let us know what you make of it.
