reviewing Cold Roses
In case you were wondering what I thought of the new Ryan Adams album Cold Roses after all my hyping, I put together a little review:
There are, for the most part, three different responses to the name Ryan Adams. For some, descriptives like arrogant or jerk quickly come to mind. For others, confusion arises as to why Bryan Adams’ name was so carelessly misspelled, quickly followed by a sense of longing for a bygone summer (’69 to be specific). Then there are those who cringe at both of these sentiments, while anxiously asking, “Ryan Adams? Where?”
Where is he playing, when is his new album coming out, what is the latest rendition of his website all about exactly? These are the devoted fans of Ryan Adams. The ones who aren’t quite sure what else everyone is so busy listening to. The ones who wonder where all the critical acclaim and albums sales are. Who can’t figure out how people can be so harsh, or even worse indifferent, towards a musician they love so much.
Cold Roses will both meet and challenge the expectations of these fans. For everyone else, this latest release from Ryan Adams (with backing band the Cardinals) will serve as a proper introduction, given the chance....

Awesome thoughts, Brett. Hey did you get another blog because it's hard to read large amounts of text on the black background?
