RYAN ADAMS
Been listening to a lot of Ryan Adams lately:
"Ryan Adams (born November 5, 1974) is an alt-country and rock and roll singer/songwriter from Jacksonville, North Carolina. Adams dropped out of high school at 16 to work in a shoe shop and make music. He formed a band named Whiskeytown in 1994; they disbanded in 1999. Adams went on to put out his first solo record, Heartbreaker, in 2000. Ryan Adams is a highly prolific artist, releasing seven albums as a solo artist between January 2000 and December 2005. He has also produced an album by Jesse Malin, contributed to Beth Orton, the Wallflowers and Counting Crows albums, dated Winona Ryder, Alanis Morisette, Beth Orton, Leona Naess, Carrie Hamilton, and Parker Posey, performed specials with Elton John (who refers to him as "Oh Fabulous One"), & Willie Nelson. Additionally, at least ten other session recordings can be found floating around the internet.
Trivia:
The Old 97's song "Crash on the Barrelhead" is supposed to be about Adams being drunk at their Austin City Limits perfomance.
Adams shares a birthday with both Gram Parsons, one of his major musical influences, and his near-namesake Bryan Adams.
The song "To Be Young (is to be sad, is to be high)" appeared in the comedy Old School.
The song "Dance All Night" is played over the ending credits of the romantic comedy Must Love Dogs, starring John Cusack and Diane Lane.
Ryan has a reputation for his unstable temperament. Notable incidents include:
Ejecting a fan who jokingly requested the song "Summer of 69" (written and performed by Bryan Adams) at a Nashville concert on October 14, 2002. According to an interview with Pitchfork, Adams explains that he was upset with the disrespect of a fan's Bryan Adams-related screams during a three-part harmony between Adams, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings.
Leaving a drunken message on Jim Derogatis' answering machine in response to the critic's review of his concert. This has subsequently been leaked onto the Internet. Although initially viewed as a rather irresponsible act, the message has now become something of a touchstone for those irked by the current state of musical criticism. Derogatis felt the impact of the confrontation through a backlash against his work and heavy criticism of his methodology and style.
Songs to look for:
New York, New York
Answering Bell
Nuclear
So Alive
When the Stars go Blue
This Is It
Wonderwall
Dance All Night
Come Pick me up
COME PICK ME UP
OH MY SWEET CAROLINA
WHEN THE STARS GO BLUE (written by Ryan Adams, sung by Corrs/Bono)
