Music reviews of Easy Tiger
Music Review: Personal favorite Ryan Adams album
Rating: 5 Stars
I find myself becoming increasingly more fond of Ryan Adams' body of work. I'm exploring everything from Whiskeytown to the Cardinals to the solo material, and this remains my favorite album. I love a number of tracks on Jacksonville City Nights, but I haven't found anything that compares, as an album in its entirety, Heartbreaker included, to Easy Tiger. It is an album I can listen to straight through, and that isn't something I can say very often. Other examples include the Stones' "Some Girls" and "Let it Bleed," Dylan's "Highway 61 Revisited" and "Bringing it All Back Home" and the Doors s/t. Not to put Adams in the same class as the Stones, Dylan or the Doors, and not that such a comparison is even necessary. The man likes to make music and put out albums. For me, every Adams album has been a collection of songs that hit and songs that miss... this one is a collection of bull's eyes IMO.

I can't seem to make Amazon not classify my location as "Vegas baby." I'm not vain, but I would never refer to the desert rat hole I currently call home as "Vegas, baby."
Description of Easy Tiger
I think there are really only two kinds of pop music CDs these days. There are the ones you listen to only once or twice, maybe downloading the single good song to your iPod or computer; then there are others that grow stronger, sweeter, and more necessary each time you play them. Gold was that way; Cold Roses was that way; so was Jacksonville City Nights. I won't say Adams is the best North American singer-songwriter since Neil Young...but I won't say he isn't, either. What I know is there has never been a Ryan Adams record quite as strong and together as Easy Tiger; it's got enough blue-eyed, blue-steel soul (with the faintest country tinge) to make me think of both Marvin Gaye and the Righteous Brothers. Probably ridiculous, but true. And the songs themselves are beautiful--the lyrics tightly focused and brief, the feeling one of melancholy calm that will probably be a revelation to fans that remember the old, sometimes angry Ryan Adams.Now there's this, maybe the best Ryan Adams CD ever. And I know you want to listen to it right away. But slow down. Take your time. This album asks for that, and it will reward your full attention.
In other words--easy, Tiger.
--Stephen King
Easy Tiger, Ryan Adams's ninth solo studio album, is a return to form in every way. He's already shown that he can bash out three albums in one year--not to mention the hilarious fake hip-hop records posted for free on his Web site--and that he can sound as much like the Grateful Dead as he wants to in his constant subsequent touring. Backed once again by the Cardinals, Adams synthesizes and refines his approach to smooth, gorgeous country-pop. "Tears of Gold" is one of the best songs he's written in ages, while "Two" is a slowly percolating, sweet little number that recalls Sean Hayes in its soulful folksiness (someone named Sheryl Crow accompanies Adams on vocals). One of the greatest treats of this languorous, twangy album is the subtle ways that genre gets played with. "I Taught Myself How to Grow Old" is the best Harvest outtake Neil Young never wrote, while the treated, synth-sounding guitar solo on the druggy, chooglin' "Halloweenhead" sounds like it comes straight out of Journey. And "The Sun Also Sets" sounds more than a little like Rufus Wainwright covering Fred McDowell's "Write Me a Few of Your Lines." It bursts with enough melodrama as to border on musical theater. But, as is clear on these songs of love and loss, Adams has always been at his best when giving into his most mellow, dramatic side. --Mike McGonigal Ryan Adams Photos
