Ryan Adams - Gold

Gold — the brilliant second solo album from Ryan Adams — will only heighten the artist’s current role as one of the most revered songwriter-performers of his generation. But like all great art, Gold should also serve to surprise and confuse the expectations of those who’ve been quick to place labels on the extremely talented and prolific former leader of the now-legendary alternative-country band Whiskeytown. While Adams’ previous releases were mostly downbeat affairs, all it takes is one listen to the Pete Townshend-like power chords and ‘60s soul organ that dominate this album’s opening track, “New York, New York” — or the happy-go-lucky, take-no-prisoner harmonica on “Firecracker” with its “Let me be your baby tonight” chorus —to alert the listener to the fact that Gold is going to be anything but a sad affair.

Only 2,500 copies of each title will be pressed. They've already gone out of print once. Get 'em now before it happens again.

Great songs!!!! posted on 07/30/2010 5 Stars Reviewer: Ray Lets be honest, this is not an audiophile pressing by any means. However you must buy this record because the songs are that good. I would put this record up against any thing put out in the last 20 years. Great music!!!!
