Hard to believe Whiskeytown's critically acclaimed Pneumonia turns ten next month. Even harder to believe alt-country phenom Ryan Adams has just released his 10th full length album in 8 years. And although Cardinology lacks the lyrical intensity of Demolition or Jacksonville City Nights, it's subtle, intimate songwriting displays a grace and delicacy missing on earlier albums. The debate lingers... which Adams will stand the test of time: the drunk, loose cannon or the sober and mature troubador?
February 21st, Adams and the Cardinals play the Orpheum. And while competing performance spaces like the Patriot Center and the Casinos offer the glitz and the comfort, the haggard and weathered Orpheum has a mystique and aura all it's own. Couldn't think of a better venue to see this show. Not to be missed.
Oops! Thanks BC. In a lame defense I was subconciously kind of hoping Ryan Adams had changed his image yet again ...and the photo fit so damn good!
hmmmm...maybe it's just me, but RA&theC look a lot like Oasis!
If Ryan Adams would slow down and take the best 5 tracks from each of his double albums and saved them until he had enough for one record, it would be amazing. I find myself constantly skipping through 60 percent of his songs!
