I wonder about this myself.  I like or love almost every song played on RP.  Occasionally I will hear song I don't particularly like.  Maybe I will turn down the volume, or switch music sources, but I never feel the need to express my dislike to anyone else.  I don't understand why someone would bother with the negative energy.

BTW, good to hear a little RA on RP.

Great to see this back in rotation. Can we have some more Ryan Adams.

Ok he can be a bit patchy but 90% of his output is very good. Always like his instrumentation especially with the Cardinals and playing with Neal Casal.

Because he's Jerry Garcia.

Agreed!  This perfectly describes H8rhaters raison d'etre.  Thanks for that Lazaerus.

The song you are looking for is, 29, the title track from the CD of the same name.

I just heard this and thought, "This is cool!" Then checked in and saw that I'd already rated it a 4 way back when. Maybe there were hundreds of us who just need to hear it in a different mood. (Obviously, I upped my rating several points.)

I guess it's not just me that hears the Garcia influences in the guitar playing (there are probably 5 other such comments below and this will show that I didn't bother to check). My comment is based on Bill's segue from here into Sugar Magnolia (8/15/09).

The whole album is terrific. I know he gets, and maybe earns, a lot of crapola 'cos he's a tad arrogant about his talent—so we shouldn't like his music? That's sorta like saying you shouldn't like Jerry Lee Lewis 'cos he's also an arrogant SOB. Pay attention to the music and let the folks close to them deal with their personalities, right?

I always think that I should like Ryan Adams, I love alt-country in general and liked Wiskeytown but his solo songs just leave me flat.  I even bought this album and I couldn't tell you a single song off it after listening to it a few times.

Much more accurate than all the Grateful Dead comparisons. And, in my opinion, much more of a compliment.

why isnt the artist including the cardinals? after all i don't think ryan adams (for now anyway) is going to release anything under his name, but just as the cardinals.

Obviously there is a Garcia-inspired guitar drive and general sound, similar to their 1970s sound, to my ear. However, I cannot see how anyone is likely to confuse Ryan Adams with the Dead or any components thereof.

Has anyone ever seen Ryan Adams, Ben Folds, and Dana Carvey in the same room? I sense a conspiracy here.

Not at all. This is definitely a lesser Ryan song, but it's still Ryan. Or a reasonable facsimilie.

Quite likeable. But if RA could talk Ry Cooder into handling the steel pedal line on this cut, it would be godlike.

Ryan was going through a Grateful Dead phase when he recorded/toured this record --- in Toronto he did a 15 minute version of Wharf Rat that I would kill to have in my jukebox.

Sounds alright, but not a very good visual.
