Ryan Adams - Easy Tiger

When I received an advance copy of this album, scheduled for release next week, I didn’t expect to like it. I wasn’t a huge fan of Ryan Adams’ solo work, although I really liked the Whiskeytown stuff. After the first listen, I can admit when I’m wrong. A couple of rockers, one really out-of-place tune (Halloweenhead) complete with the outdated “guitar solo” shout before the bizarrely-outdated guitar solo (I’m sure there’s a reason this cut made the album, but I haven’t deduced it yet), and a whole bunch of mostly-acoustic ruminations on love and lost-love. You’ll like it. Go buy it. Because I said so.
