Ryan Adams also has a new album coming out in a month or so, so here is one of his live shows. Pulled from Archive.org, this is a REAL laid back show even though he has a full band behind him. If you've never heard Ryan sing "Magnolia Mountain" you need to give it listen.....great, great version with some sweet, sweet pedal steel. This recording is very "Grateful Dead-like" with some slowed down versions of "To Be Young" and "Kiss Before I Go". This is not the rousing honky tonk of Jacksonville City Nights but it has it's place. I especially love the sweet, sweet pedal steel throughout all the songs (did I already say that :P). Nice version of "Let it Ride" to finish it off too.

I think it's more like two months, isn't it? Don't go getting my hopes up.
ReplyDeletedamn, yeh I just looked it up.....June 5th! I thought it was sooner than that.
ReplyDeleteI just downloaded this Monday afternoon before I hit the road, and right now I am listening to it for the first time. It's the first time I listened to Ryan Adams post-Whiskeytown, and live is always best...so I'm rfeally diggin' on this ROIO.
ReplyDeleteI get where it sounds "Deadish," but there are times I get a late Dire Straits influence, too. It all works well together - great show!
Also getting some Neil Young and Stephen Stills "feel," too.
