One of the single most talented artists of the 21st century.

[@blueshorecreative3146]

Perfect song. One of the most well-written songs I've ever heard. It's so sweet to hear, the changes are perfect, then it's over, and you want to hear it again.

[@michaelcarey3847]

Your right.Most powerfully song I have heard in a long long time!!

[@jodycollier6607]

Ryan adams helped me thru alot. Couldn't save my friend who introduced me to his music but the more I listen to it the more i understand his sorrow and despair

[@loobee2486]

No one has ever pulled me away from Bruce and his lyrics ....then I heard Ryan ..... Keep them coming Sir

[@thomasminarchickjr.7355]

That’s a low bar

[@Wakemewhenit]

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 let it ride easy down the road Let it ride Let it take away all of this 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 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 Let it ride easy down the road Let it ride Let it take away all of this 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

[@tonypetrillo3488]

Just one of his best songs ever...

[@keithblaler7987]

I love the 🎹 piano on this!

[@mapatterson22]

This has got to be one of my favourite DRA songs! A great version of it too:)

[@janpedersen8376]

My only problem with this song is that i can’t get it out of my head when go to bed.

[@mapatterson22]

@@janpedersen8376 A long time in answering here but, I agree although i quite often wake up with it in my head in the morning and then, that's it!!.... all day😂

[@MattMaynard-s9f]

Thanks for introducing me to Ryan's music Chad.

[@deanna1954ful]

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I SAW AND HEARD THIS GENIUS....AND MAN OH MAN...I FELL IN LOVE WITH HIS TALENT...WOWWW AND I AM HOOKED.

[@davidringo1399]

Me too...I hate most new artists being a 35 year musician myself but these guys are damn good...The whole set is superb...

[@Cap683]

I too am new to Ryan Adams and am going through his catalog which is huge by the way. This is what what music should be.

[@erinnmccrankypants5192]

Whoa!! That was a really good version of an already kikass song. .. nailed it...and sick dag nasty shirt..props

[@barbaratertan9921]

I love this song! One of his bests

[@deanna1954ful]

GOD I LOVE THIS MAN....

[@margomalik181]

this guy is unbelievable. Love Ryan Adams

[@Napalm52]

Too bad he’s a POS

[@RedPillTruth2023]

Agreed

[@esotericveritas]

His unreleased albums are just as good. I remember first hearing about Whiskeytown and RA through a mixtape (remember those?) that one of my punk rock friends made me. I did not know country, rock and folk could exists like that together. I struggled with anxiety, depression and (later on) addiction issues , so his songs always resonated with me. Nowadays he has kinda lost that special touch but i love his discography up to his stuff with The Cardinals. After that, his tunes just did not move me in the way they used to...

[@barryb9672]

love ya matey

[@stephenpatt952]

wowsers--another killer performance by Ryan and The Shining (the incomparable Mike Viola on guitar and vocals!)--what a magnificent rock and roll band!

[@davidringo1399]

They are tight...very tight.......Mike Viola has been in the bizz a long time & was a perfect choice for Ryan.....Hes most likely a little tuff to work with I would imagine....The ACL sets are very very good.....Ryan Adams and Shining are the best band Ive heard in years.....

[@davidringo1399]

Mike Viola and back up band are really good in this...great set !!

[@MellowCanadian]

Hardcore punk and black metal shirts? This is NOT the kind of music I expected from these gents. I Dig it...

[@Tennessee1981]

It's because he's also fan of those Genres. He also has a very wide range, he's done a metal album for fun and it's good, even though it's not his main forte

[@tonyspoetry]

Love Ryan. Dudes legit.

[@yuramalishenko]

Thank you Spotify for suggesting the song to listen. I totally love it! (It was suggested based on my obsession with Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers). So this one sits real well with me ❤

[@wginpb]

AWESOME,!😊😊😊 Wishing you all the best!

[@kellycrocker3454]

Are you by chance from Greenville MS??

[@wginpb]

[@satransmission1033]

Really like this guy's music, coming to Red Rock Soon !!!

[@thesocialpariah7330]

Love this song! Check out Ryan and Neal slowing it down in Ireland.

[@mattthrun-nowicki8641]

The Ireland version is probably my absolute favorite. But I also dig this one

[@AdrianWhyte]

Love this song but missing the lower twangy guitar riff from the recording, it’s like it’s own verse/chorus!

[@dicerice1]

Miss the days of MFC, but they are getting stronger

[@69waltersg]

This is a very Jackson Browne-ish song.

[@davidringo1399]

Very..

[@pacadet]

THAT’S WHAT IT IS. I could never place why this song seems familiar, but that’s it. It sounds like a Jackson Browne song.

[@bwolohan18]

nearly as tasty as the letterman version which is always my favourite, with the cardinals

[@Adam1986London]

+Brian Wolohan i was just watching that and thinking that it's got to be the best but this is pretty fucking good too

[@FebruaryMang]

NEAL!!!

[@reaganmiller453]

[@davidv7043]

There was a great version of the song "Do I Wait " on this show . It was available for about a week or so and then it disappeared , does anyone know why this is ?

[@danger1980c]

Prisoner back cover!

[@danger1980c]

This here is my rock n roll haircut-it says “I really don’t give a f@ck” ..and costs me $200

[@nmd14723]

Anyone know who the band members are ?

[@michaelmblog]

This song really needs to be up-tempo. I'm not sure why he chose to do it like this.

[@hiramrosenkreuz9835]

If only Fender made drums......

[@thestuffmikedoes2309]

I wonder how much time he spent on his meticulously messy hair

[@thestuffmikedoes2309]

this non-skinny dude is busting out of his skinny dude outfit

[@siyapike1687]

I love this song
