Ryan Adams

Artist- Ryan Adams & The Cardinals
Album- III/IV
Label- Pan-Am
Genre- rock


Evidently this double album was recorded back in 2007 (the Easy Tiger sessions) and Adams just found the tapes recently. Like previous album Rock N Roll, Adams leaves his alt-country schtick behind, instead favoring muscled out power pop rock. With 21 tracks to choose from, it wasn’t hard to find a few winners. “Icebreaker” is Adams goes faux-metal, “The Crystal Skull” sounds like Morrissey. Adams needs to reevalute his recording practices, since his prolific output means that more often than not these CDs are full of filler.
