It's funny how some songs, you just have to hear a few chords a bit of warbling for Ho-Hum to leap out at you. This is one such {#Sleep}. Mind you, all the Ryan Adams songs I've heard on here are an almost automatic Ho-Hum. I wonder if you can set up a batch prog for ratings? ;). A nailed-on 3 from the somnolent Nottingham jury.

It really does depend on the night.  I've seen him several times and when he's drunk or in a bad mood the concerts can be spotty affairs.  When he's on, you will not see a better concert —- absolute magic.

And yeah, this is a great tune.

Ryan Adams, love 'im or hate 'im, there doesn't seem to be a large middle ground. 

I love him (his music).

I was about to switch my internet radio connection from RP to the baseball game. Then this song came on. I can't bring myself to turn off RP when this is playing. I've heard it 1,000 times, and I can pop the CD in any time I want to hear it, but I still have to listen to it all the way through.

I wouldn't recognize a Backstreet Boys song if I heard one. I hear they are a kiddie pop singing and dancing group. I'm surprised any RP listener would listen to that.

Ryan Adam's "Gold" is one of my favorite albums of all time. Unfortunately it also reminds me of the attacks of September 11, 2001. A "Ten" on an album with many.

There is a subdued groove here. I like it.

Actually, the flag is rightside up. It is the photo that is upside down (Ryan was hanging upside down when the photo was taken.).

What's curious is that Ryan is his middle name. His full name is David Ryan Adams. So he could have easily called himself David Adams or Dave Adams. He chose to go by Ryan Adams. Then he gets upset when people ask him to play Summer of '69.

Oh well. Still a 10 in my book. I'm a big fan of all of his albums. Saw him live once, and he wasn't very good.


This trick is seeing a show when he is sober. Much, much better. And he doesn't fall of the stage or stumble into his drummer.

Saw him at a show in DC several years ago and then saw him a bit later that evening stumbling around Adams Morgan. Pretty funny.

Perhaps. Though, the actor Michael Keaton's real name is Michael Douglas, soooo, you can see behind his ultimate decision there....

Sometimes artists are like that. Enjoy the art at home not in a concert hall.
