Editorial Review: Album Description: 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 Amazon.com: 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

 Rating:  - What an albumI'm sort of a new Ryan Adams fan and picked this one up after hearing the couple tracks of the Elizabethtown soundtracks. This is a wonderful album... every track. Brilliant songwriting. Nothing's overdone here... its all just right. Nice backup band... all the tracks are 3 mins or less... its just a great album. Great stuff... look forward to more. Rating: - Easy TigerRyan Adams-Easy Tiger ***** Once again back with the great Cardinals, and making the best album of his career...so far. Easy Tiger is pure and simple genius. Brilliance in it's truest and purest musical form. The attitude is still there, the drugs are gone, and the lyrics are twice as honest and haunting making this miles above all his previous work. Subject matter ranging love and love lost ('Two' 'Everybody Knows' 'Tears Of Gold') to drugs and all around young mischief ('Halloweenhead'). 'Everybody Knows' is among his best recorded, and lyrically 'Tears Of Gold' might be his strongest of all time. 'Oh My God, Whatever, Etc' is nothing short of chilling. Nothing short of genius. 'Pearls On A String' would be typical ... Read More: Rating: - Easy Tiger is Ryan Adams at His Best.After touring with Willie Nelson and Phil Lesh and Friends in 2006, alt-country singer-songwriter Ryan Adams released his ninth album, Easy Tiger, a collection of thirteen emotionally intense songs written during Adams' extended period of alcohol and heroin abuse that ended in 2006. Easy Tiger reveals Ryan Adams at his best as a singer-sonwriter, and gave him the worldwide attention he long deserved. Sheryl Crow contributes backing vocals on the song, "Two," and Rolling Stone ranked "Halloweenhead" among the 50 Best Songs of 2007. The complete Easy Tiger setlist includes: 1. Goodnight Rose 3:20 2. Two 2:38 3. Everybody Knows 2:25 4. Halloweenhead 3:23 5. Oh My God, Whatever, Etc. 2:31 9 6. ... Read More: Rating: - Wow!This is an amazing album. Ryan Adams, one of the most prolific songwriters of our generation, and dare I say a musical genius has some great tracks on this album, including "Two", "Tears of Gold", "The Sun Also Sets", and "I Taught Myself How to Grow Old". The entire album flows incredibly well, and I love that unlike many mainstream artists that stack their best songs at the begininning of the album, Adams clearly puts a lot of thought into song order, and making a cohesive album to begin with, making the entire album a joy to listen to. Rating: - Killer tunes!!!! Buy "Easy Tiger" and "Follow the Lights" .. these two works go together perfectly ... Enjoy! Ryan is Americana music personified ... Bravo ! |
