Ryan Adams has played in some bands and has made some new albums. He enjoys writing lots of music, and from time to time takes it to the jam. He is currently focused on doing things quietly, without much fuss, in his professional life. He hopes for a calm, cool, meaningful ride in his thirties. Ryan loves his dog and his guitar. He digs comics, coffee and cigs. His favorite foods are, whatever the soup of the day is (as long as it's maybe like a vegetable soup, or some sort of clam chowder), and ham and cheese sandwiches. When he falls asleep next to his dog, he thinks to himself that heaven is probably holding hands with your gal by a beautiful lake and laying in the grass with your dog; dreaming of the sky, clouds and the smell of grass and rain. Ryan likes to think about the solar system, the dynamics of rotation, its effects on binary star systems and if it has linear or emotional effects. He likes to read Ram Dass and loves Ram Dass' voice. He was very moved by Journey of Awakening. Most of the time Ryan isn't thinking at all about music, or the ramifications of playing music, or what that means to others. Instead, he thinks about little things like "I wonder if she would like this?" or "Maybe this is tacky, not that tacky is bad, but it just might not go with her other stuff" or "Why did I used to like the Twilight Zone so much? It gives me tremors. I mean, almost panic attacks. Why can't they just write an episode where everything works out? Where its all okay and people can just sort of be here for a second, breathe and feel some sort of relationship to themselves." You know, normal stuff. For the most part, Ryan Adams hopes that he can just play some songs and whatever. If that's not okay with someone, that's totally fine, He won't come into their homes and like, jam on top of their TV sets, or in their face wearing nothing but a cowboy belt with gun holsters and women's underwear while screaming "Listen to me...look, look what I did. LISTEN TO ME OR PERISH!!!" Then, turn into a gigantic metallic spider and wrap whoever up in electric coils and devour them, only after injecting them with poisons so their insides go to mush. Well, he's totally not into that at all, and really sort of keeps mostly to himself these days. He knows that everybody thinks that he is some kind of lunatic, and maybe that's so, but as long as it's not in someone else's yard, and yeah that happens to everybody once or twice, but really. Ryan likes Dokken a lot, unapologetically, not that anyone would have to apologize for that. He is currently looking for the deeper meaning in things, trying to belong to the light and not give into meaningless ego drivel. He really hopes for the best. The Cardinals are his new band. Cold Roses is his new jam. Laters.

Soo...lets tell him to get back on drugs that could possibly kill him, but hey its all about the music right? God forbid some punk who is heartbroken the music isnt what it was will have to listen to something different. Dang. Ryan's music speaks to all kinds of people, (even the latest) Hate to break it to you Joe but he isnt recording albums for you.

No. An artist should be judged by their most recent output and its sad to say, but Ryan Adams is no longer producing his best music. His peak has past, and the fact that you are capable of forgiving him so easily is quite indicative of the way that music is made to day: with a lowest common denominator in mind that says "No, it doesn't have to be great, just good enough to keep folks from changing the channel." So yeah, maybe I was a little harsh, but mediocre music is mediocre music and I know that Ryan Adams is capable of better than his mots recent songs.

Oh Joe-I agree....it is sad. I suspect that most of the people that actually shop for music on this website are familiar with only two Ryan Adams songs..Youve got the "Come Pick Me Uppers" and the "Sweet Caroliner's"...THey know these tunes because every damn "Texas (yeehaw) and Red Dirt (wtf?) band has churned out some elementary version of them. Ive seen Adams perform in New York and South Carolina, and then in Dallas.....it was ridiculous at the Dallas shows as the whole time all these goofy RED DIRT?TEXAS MUSIC fans monotonously requested these two tunes.....Anyway I enjoy all of his albums for what they are, you can take tunes he writes just f'in around and they are leaps and bounds better than mmmmm... at least 95% of the stuff comin out of TX and OK these days. God please let this whole red dirt/TX poop pass soon!

Joe-thats sad, very sad. The cd might not be comparable to some of his past work and hey it happens but shame on you for such a disgusting and upsetting way to review an artist. I suggest everyone get this cd and other Ryan Adam work.

I picked this album up awhile back, listened to it once through and was thoroughly disappointed. "Easy Tiger" was a far overrated album (with critics describing it as "cohesive" and "together" when in fact it was, by Adams' own admission, just a bunch of songs he'd had laying around) and this EP proves that sobriety has really taken away from the Ryan Adams experience. The line "My love for you is real" in the opening track is by far the most trite thing to ever come out of this once poignant songwriter. Sadly, there will never be another Heartbreaker or Cold Roses. I would expect to see more craplike this out of Adams unless he, by some gracious miracle from on high, starts getting messed up again and writing songs that aren't for the pretentious and self-involved Starbucks crowd.

Easy Tiger is Adams' most unfocused work to date. The album is a meandering romp through different genres of music he's already made in the past all on one disc. Good, but not revolutionary by any standard.

The most trancendental piece of art of our time... He's so far beyond any level of thinking we're used to, it might scare you. Give it a chance...and while you're at it, buy any Whiskeytown album you can get your hands on... Trust me...
