Ryan Adams

Torrential creativity has fast-forwarded the artistic evolution of former Whiskeytown frontman Ryan Adams from country-rock boy wonder to despondent troubadour with a 1960s fixation, but it may also explain why listeners often need to wade through some pedestrian material just to find a few pearls of poetic excellence. Gold is no exception to that trend, a sometimes engaging middle-of-the-road roots-pop album that's both overlong (70 minutes) and at times overindulgent.

Ryan Adams covers Taylor Swift's 2014 album "1989". While listening to Taylor Swift's record, Adams thought how he would have done the songs. "I was listening to that record and thinking, I hear more", he said. "Not that there was anything missing. I would just think about the sentiments in the songs and the configurations".

David Ryan Adams (born November 5, 1974) is an American rock and country singer-songwriter. He has released 29 studio albums and three as a former member of Whiskeytown.

Rock N Roll is the fourth studio album by Ryan Adams. The album features the hit single "So Alive", and includes guest appearances by Adams's then girlfriend, actress Parker Posey, former Hole and Smashing Pumpkins bass player Melissa Auf der Maur, and Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong. Adams describes the album as "the most rock thing I have ever done", and notes that in spite of the album's mixed reception, recording it was "fun as fuck".

This album contains the 17 previously unreleased B-sides included in the elaborate "Prisoner" vinyl box set from Ryan Adams.

Ryan Adams' debut solo album and modern classic, "Heartbreaker". Originally released in 2000, this Deluxe edition contains newly released outtakes and demo versions.

Mixing the heartfelt angst of a singer/songwriter with the cocky brashness of a garage rocker, Ryan Adams is at once one of the few artists to emerge from the alt-country scene to achieve mainstream commercial success and the one who most strongly refused to be defined by the genre, leaping from one spot to another stylistically while following his increasingly prolific muse.
