He seemed to comprehensively blow it after Gold – till then and with Whiskytown he was superb, then hubris took over. I’ll check out out. It’s be nice if he’s got a grip again.
Gold is actually one of Ryan’s weaker efforts. After that an avalanche of releases most of which are excellent, a minority are so-so and half a dozen absolute belters: the most interesting artist working in pop today.
Right now right here – nobody better. Thanks, Native

I actually really like his version of ‘1989’, and in truth his new album is musically in the same vein as that.

I love 1989.
We Disappear off the new album is his best track ever!
I wholeheartedly disagree there Twang.
His output has been inconsistent but there is much fine music from the pen and guitar of Ryan Adams.
Ryan was the guest on Jonesy’s Jukebox yesterday:
