Oh God, you know how i hate name similarities such as Bryan Adams and Ryan Adams. And also if i see many influences lists on artists' myspace page like influenced by: The Beatles, Scott Walker, The Stone Roses... And the result is a simple music without any connection to these references. Of course i'm not against to Ryan Adams' upcoming Easy Tiger, because he doesn't have any artists to trick you on his influences section. Ryan Adams' ninth solo studio album offers a formula of light music that you can listen whenever you want. Everybody Knows is a great song! Sometimes we need this nice guy with his heavy acustic, folkish, country-rooted emotional songs.
Other stunning cuts got my attention on Easy Tiger:
The Sun Also Sets is such a bone work. Vocals are almost stunning, sounds like Rufus
Wainwright on clouds and you want Starsailor come back with an amazing record.
On Tears Of Gold, you travel to your sweet dreams.
Two Hearts is a reason to make mention of Jeff Buckley again.
