Agreed - some of his stuff is a little drab, I just can't get in to it for whatever reason.  Some of his stuff is great, as good as anything in the business.  I'd put this song up there near the top, he nailed it.

Well, send it on!  There are instructions for submitting songs - don't be shy.  Always room for new music, even if a song's already listed. A new version adds to the mix! {#Yes}

Good stuff, sometimes I forget how great he can be. More Ryan Adams please Bill. :-)

Actually, it's a lovely cover - it's blind-embossed. Looks like a old ceiling tile.

I was doing other stuff, working, here in the house, talking to the family, this was on in the background.  Maybe it was in the background, but some part of my overtaxed brain picked up on this and I had to come over and see who and what this was.  Very nice.  I really rather like this.  An 8 on the first listen and looking forward to hearing again.  Cheers!

TEN!!

We're seeing Ryan and Oasis in London, Ontario in December, the show that was postponed after Noel Gallagher was attacked in Toronto.

Enlighten us. Who are these artists? Why isn't this original?

Dropped off the radar? He put out 3 cd's in 2006- and cold roses was a double cd!

That zinging sound is the original post going over your head in a blur of sarcasm. Or did I just miss your sarcasm about the first sarcasm? Let me know....

"Cold Roses" is in my opinion the best after "Gold" as it suprises, not like the other albums.
Thumbs up for Ryan! Not Bryan :P

His downfall seems to be that he has begun to write an enormous amount of material in a short period of time but has forgotten how to separate the wheat from the chaff. Some of his career decisions also seem more driven by spiting the record company than by good music - almost the entirety of Rock N Roll, for one egregious example. But I do enjoy an awful lot of what's on the new album even if it's all just a bit to much to digest.

because he was upstaged by his own ego !
i am always dissapointed by how much i like his songs - cause i think he's such a prick - there are usualy 4 or 5 gems on each of his records though

I'm sure he's never heard that one. Likeable tune from a guy who continues to surprise.

wow, i clicked on this just now and was rather surprised to see i'd rated a ryan adams song 10, started wondering what i'd been all hopped up on that day but thought i'd better listen again for a minute.

i think it's the way his vocals ride along the music very pleasent with the the electric guitar accompniament, good song i think i'll leave the rating for now.

Is it lame to post twice in a thread for a song you uploaded?
Oh well...since i was brought up:

LET IT RIDE

Moving like the fog on the Cumberland River
I was leaving on the Delta Queen
And I wasn't ready to go I'm never ready to go
27 years of nothing but failures and promises that I couldn't keep
Oh lord, I wasn't ready to go I'm never ready to go
Let it ride, Let it ride easy down the road
Let it ride, Let it take away all of the darkness
Let it ride, Let it rock me in the arms of stranger's angels until it brings me home
Let it ride, Let it roll, Let it go

Loaded like a sailor
Tumbling off a ferry boat
I was at the bar till three
Oh Lord, and I wasn't ready to go
I'm never ready to go
Tennessee's a brother to my sister Carolina where they're gonna bury me
And I ain't ready to go
I'm never ready to go
Let it ride ....

I wanna see you tonight
Dancing in the endless moonlight
In the parking lot in the headlights of cars
Someplace on the moon
Where they moved the drive-in theater
Where I left the car that I can't find but I still got the keys to
Let it ride...

This is the only Ryan Adams album I have, but I found his lyrics, on the whole, to be well considered.

Yay - my one and only succesful upload to date.
"Wonderwall" is all fine and good but there's so much great original stuff it's nice to hear it.

I have "Easy Plateau" in the pipe on the LRC and someone else has "Cold Roses" so here's hoping we'll get some more.

This song is VERY catchy. It's not a bad thing, but something is forcing me to play it over and over again, and I'm probably starting to annoy those around me.
