Hello my dear bloggers, how are we today?In my quest for a good artist to fill my musical needs (and bad temper), I've found a precious jewel called Ryan Adams. Bad boy, drug and drink addict, he has all the characteristics of a true rock'n'roll troublemaker but he's the opposite of it in his self-destructive behaviour.
Turns out that in all confusion, brought by his addictions, he finds himself in his magnificent Dylan/Cash songwriting.
Amazing composer, he seduces you with his heartbreaking voice in heartfelt rock inspired ballads.
But the true quality of Ryan Adams is his consistence in every work as a true portrait and ode to his feelings, loneliness and his lost soul.
In our days, the troubadour's image such as Jeff Buckley, Bob Dylan and so many others, are relegated to a second plan in the music business (which is a pity). Adams, however, manages to avoid that oblivion and to be recognized for his music composing skills. And he does that effortlessly in little pearls throughout his discography till now.
For instance, in the latest record "Cardinology", with his band called The Cardinals, Ryan shows us how his newfound focus (after getting sober from drinking habits) brings us a collection of catching hits such as "Fix it" and "Go easy" exposed in great dashing melodies. Extremely recommended for those who love Dylan’s early stage. But that's not his only contribution, I'd advise you to go for four great previous albums as well: "Demolition", "Gold", "Cold Roses" and "Love is Hell".
Every album has its terrific touch of moderated happiness mixed with personal angst. A song like "Desire", a beautiful and powerful ballad, is the picture portrait of what I'm telling you, guys. Go for it, you won't be disappointed if you're looking for an extremely soulful country/rock star.
As always, have fun, enjoy the ride and cheers all the way, lads.
