Cold Roses [2 CD]

Review "Cold Roses" shows a maturity in Adams that has never been seen before maturity that acknowledges art from kitsch. -- Associated Press - Ryan Releases Best Album Yet Cold Roses finds Adams in near full bloom. -- People Magazine - 3 1/2 Stars (out of 4) 5/20 Issue Easily the best solo work he's ever done. It's the kind of thing you put on and leave on. -- Atlanta Journal Constitution * A- Fans will love the modalities, the sinewy acoustic guitar strums and the don't-give-up-on-love messages. -- Philadelphia Daily News * A- Songs that pay homage to the dreamy, folk-country psychedelia of the Grateful Dead and Neil Young, exudes honesty, not satire. -- Boston Globe There's not a bad song...listen to the album straight through and marvel at the variety, sparkle and pure tunefulness. -- USA Today * 3 1/2 Stars!! Product 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. About the Artist Ryan Adams has played in some bands and has made some new albums. He enjoys writing lots of music, and from time to time takes it to the jam. He is currently focused on doing things quietly, without much fuss, in his professional life. He hopes for a calm, cool, meaningful ride in his thirties. Ryan loves his dog and his guitar. He digs comics, coffee and cigs. His favorite foods are, whatever the soup of the day is (as long as its maybe like a vegetable soup, or some sort of clam chowder), and ham and cheese sandwiches. When he falls asleep next to his dog, he thinks to himself that heaven is probably holding hands with your gal by a beautiful lake and laying in the grass with your dog; dreaming of the sky, clouds and the smell of grass and rain. Ryan likes to think about the solar system, the dynamics of rotation, its effects on binary star systems and if it has linear or emotional effects. He likes to read Ram Dass and loves Ram Dass' voice. He was very moved by Journey of Awakening. Most of the time Ryan isnt thinking at all about music, or the ramifications of playing music, or what that means to others. Instead, he thinks about little things like "I wonder if she would like this?" or "Maybe this is tacky, not that tacky is bad, but it just might not go with her other stuff" or "Why did I used to like the Twilight Zone so much? It gives me tremors. I mean, almost panic attacks. Why cant they just write an episode where everything works out? Where its all okay and people can just sort of be here for a second, breathe and feel some sort of relationship to themselves." You know, normal stuff. For the most part, Ryan Adams hopes that he can just play some songs and whatever. If thats not okay with someone, thats totally fine, He wont come into their homes and like, jam on top of their TV sets, or in their face wearing nothing but a cowboy belt with gun holsters and womens underwear while screaming "Listen to me...look, look what I did… LISTEN TO ME OR PERISH!!!" Then, turn into a gigantic metallic spider and wrap whoever up in electric coils and devour them, only after injecting them with poisons so their insides go to mush. Well, hes totally not into that at all, and really sort of keeps mostly to himself these days. He knows that everybody thinks that he is some kind of lunatic, and maybe thats so, but as long as its not in someone elses yard, and yeah that happens to everybody once or twice, but really. Ryan likes Dokken a lot, unapologetically, not that anyone would have to apologize for that. He is currently looking for the deeper meaning in things, trying to belong to the light and not give into meaningless ego drivel. He really hopes for the best. The Cardinals are his new band. Cold Roses is his new jam. Laters.
