Ryan Adams - Ryan Adams (New CD)

Following up his 2011 album ASHES & FIRE, which was the best reviewed (Rolling Stone hailed it as 'perfect') and highest charting of his career, Ryan Adams' returns with his self-titled Blue Note debut. Recorded at his PaxAm studios and produced by Adams, the album represents another leap forward in his development as both songwriter and performer. Easily his most fully-developed musical statement, the album takes Adams' inspired song-craft and brings it into a more hard driving rock direction that will please the hardcore Ryan devotee but will also turn on a broader audience.
