Buckle Up: Ten Important Country Albums In My Life of Listening

I started this thing a while ago where I decided I was going to name ten albums important to me (and important for me) in a particular musical genre. I started with hip-hop (see here). And then I decided to do my list of seminal and sentimental metal albums (see here). And most recently it […]

Ryan Adams: Prisoner

Ryan Adams Prisoner Blue Note The best anyone can want for (and from) Ryan Adams these days is consistency. And he finds it here – perhaps ironically – when contemplating the recent upheaval of a failed marriage. Prisoner, arriving nearly two decades later, is the flip-side, in some ways, to debut solo album Heartbreaker. You […]

Ryan Adams: Ryan Adams

Ryan Adams Ryan Adams Blue Note/Universal Remember on Gold – the album that really announced Ryan Adams to the world (if you think about the inclusion of songs from that on movie soundtracks, if you think that people were still just catching up with Heartbreaker and/or Whiskeytown, often after hearing Gold) – he had this […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1412

Ryan Adams, Demolition (2002) It’s amazing what time will do – I had this album, vinyl, sealed, from the time it was released. And at that time I a) didn’t have a turntable and b) figured I might start a time-capsule type-thing. The idea was to once or twice a year get an album from […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1737

Ryan Adams, Heartbreaker (2000) Got around to buying this LP a couple of years ago. The CD ran its course – and it’s nice to have this back in the collection. It’s one of only a (small) few Ryan Adams albums I care about. He has his Kool Aid-drinking defenders that talk up so many […]
