I have every Ryan Adams CD, including the Whiskey Town Cd's and the Cardinals Cd's, and I can honestly say there is not one song on any of the Cd's that I don't adore. Sometimes an artist comes along that makes music that just awakens something in you, it makes you feel more, it permeates your soul. Ryan Adams music does that for me, no matter how many times I listen to his music it never loses the intensity of the first time I heard it.

I'm gonna say it, it's contentious but I'm gonna say it. Ryan Adams' is the best American song writer since Bob Dylan.
@Ryan-xg5my10 жыл бұрын
Townes Van Zandt is best American song writer since Bob Dylan, but since Townes started in the 70's, I would say Ryan Adams is the best American song writer since Townes.

After 56 years of listening for me the order is: Townes, Dylan, Prine, Clark, and Adams. Ryan Adams is a true genus and extremely underrated.

This is literally the best version of this song I've ever heard. Currently in North Carolina, where I've been for a week. A South Carolinian born and bred. Ryan perfectly captures the pleasures of being from the South.

I know right!!....Ive heard every recorded version of this over and over but the raspyness of his voice and maybe his "state of mind" here kept the tempo a little slower and heartfelt.....hes a much better singer these days but this is classic.

I remember watching him live back In 06 and some wanker in the crowd was heckling him, shouting 'play summer of 69' Ryan got really mad and stormed off of the stage; later on he came back and demanded the guy who was taunting him to come up on stage. at this point I was thinking 'holy shit we're gonna see a live execution' to my disappointment he only got him kicked out. My favourite song of all time though!!

Wow, I'm glad the experts chimed in. Ryan Adams is a bad ass, Bob Dylan is a bad ass. The reason I compared him to Bob is because he writes great songs, plays great guitar, plays great harmonica, plays great by himself and plays great with a band. Seems pretty similar to me. But you all know your music much better than me, so I won't chime in anymore. Good day youtube.

Bitty - Not every song of his lights my fire, but I agree that his music 'awakens' s.t. in me. Maybe the sense of longing, the melancholy. And beyond these qualities, he's also a great musician, which doesn't necessarily go hand-in-hand with being 'moving'.
