Editorial Review: Album Description: Cold Roses is the first of three Ryan Adams releases this year on Lost Highway Records. September to hit this summer and 29 to hit this fall. The new release, a double CD, features Ryan's new band The Cardinals and was produced by Tom Schick. Ryan & The Cardinals recorded Cold Roses in two different sessions at Loho Studios. Ryan will be touring in the Spring, Summer and Fall. "Let It Ride" is the first single going to AAA in early April. Amazon.com: Sent reeling by the one-two punch Conor Oberst's Bright Eyes delivered with I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning and Digital Ash In A Digital Urn, Ryan Adams vowed to strike back in 2005 with three of his own releases. The first--a double album, no less--sees the attention-seeking former Whiskeytown singer casting off both the raucous guitars of 2003's Rock N Roll and the rainy-day ballads of the same year's Love Is Hell in favor of the more introspective moments and rustic textures of 2000's Heartbreaker. He's snuck in at least one epic with "Meadowlake Street" and one potential radio hit with the twangy "Let It Ride," while the rest of the set is mostly packed with bleary-eyed laments that feel all too mannered after spending the last few years revealing his naked pop ambition in full. No doubt Adams will make up for it with the next one. --Aidin Vaziri Recommended Ryan Adams Discography
From Amazon.ca: Here is the album that many fans have been hoping Ryan Adams would make since his much heralded emergence with Whiskeytown. Though Adams has been as eclectic (and erratic) as prolific over his solo career, this double-disc gem delineates the possibilities of alt-country in 2005 while transcending the limitations typically associated with the genre. The organic arrangements of his new band, the Cardinals, blend acoustic and electric strains, sparked by the interplay between J.P. Bowersock on guitar and Asleep at the Wheel alumna Cindy Cashdollar on pedal and lap steel. With the set-opening "Magnolia Mountain," Adams and band draw inspiration beyond the title from the era of Neil Young's "Sugar Mountain" and the Grateful Dead's "Sugar Magnolia," though much of what follows shares as much in spirit with Bright Eyes (or even the poppier side of Prince) as it does with retro country-rock. On "Mockingbird Street," Adams builds from the stripped-down intimacy of a heartbeat toward the majesty of an anthem. Except for the rock and roll swagger of "Beautiful Sorta," the material exposes an open-hearted vulnerability, emotions that range from the rapturously romantic ("Cherry Lane") to the tremulously tender ("Mockingbird") to the broodingly bittersweet ("Rosebud"). On the engagingly uptemo "Let It Ride," Adams confesses to "27 years of nothing but failure and promises that I couldn't keep." This release represents promise fulfilled. --Don McLeese Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Cold Roses - One of Ryan Adams' best albumsGreat double disc album! There's a nice balance of slow stuff and rockin' stuff, all good. It has a pretty classic Ryan Adams sound- edgy alt-country with a really well produced "live recording" sort of feel. Not at all like the "Rock 'n Roll" album, not as happy sounding as "Gold," a little more up-beat than "Heartbreaker," it may be somewhere between "Jacksonville City Nights" and "29." Truly one of my favorite albums currently. Rating:  - Ryan Adams...song writing geniusIn my opinion, this is Adams best work. A two CD set of beautiful songs inspired by the soul of the Carolinas, haunting, poetic and bluesy. Rating: - Ryan shines like the light at the end of a dark tunnelWith Cold Roses, Ryan Adams equalled the beauty of Whiskeytown's 2nd album, the masterpiece Strangers Almanac. Some say he already did this with his solo debut, Heartbreaker, but as strong as that album was, I don't think it was quite as solid as Cold Roses, which - to my ears - only contains the very best of what Ryan Adams is capable of achieving as a songwriter and musician. No, there are no songs here to equal Come Pick Me Up or Why Do They Leave, but Cold Roses has a larger amount of truly excellent songs compared to Heartbreaker. The songs Magnolia Mountain, Meadowlake Street (one of Ryan's most beautiful ballads), Now That You're Gone, Cherry Lane, Mockingbird, Easy Plateau, Let It Ride, If I Am A Stranger, and Life Is Beautiful are my ... Read More: Rating: - ryan at his best. by far, ryan's best work since whiskeytown, any country singer/songwriter should hang up their guitars after hearing how it's done on this amazing double cd by this generation's top singer/songwriter Rating: - If I had to pick one Ryan Adams CD....Cold Roses would be it. I have been a fan of his since his Whiskeytown days and he continues to impress me with his songwriting/singing capabilities. I've had this CD for a couple of years and have been listening to it for the last couple of weeks again - just can't get it off of my mind. If you're a fan of Ryan Adams, then you know what I mean. If you're just being introduced to him, this is a GREAT CD - do yourself a favor and buy it. Cheers/ |
