Ryan Adams and the Cardinals Performance DC

For any of you Ryan Adams fans, I saw Ryan Perform last night at the 930 Club here in Washington DC. It was a sold out show and he was spectacular! He performed a very wide range of his music and his set list consisted of 29 songs.

He was accompanied by his new band "The Cardinals" and it consisted of a Bass, 2nd Guitar, Steel Guitar, and drums. If you are a fan or are just getting familiar with his work, I highly suggest seeing him if he comes to your area.

Good Listening,

Chris

I saw him recently here in Los Angeles, at the Henry Fonda Theater and he also had a very good night. This band seems to be the best he's played with yet, outside of Whiskeytown - of course.

Glad to hear those shows were good. I saw him here in Boston last week the show was just ok. He seemed to lack focus and meandered quite a bit. What do you all thnk of the new CD? My Deadhead friends like it...

I think the new record has a real Crazy Horse feel to it. I need to listen to it more, but I wouldn't rate it as his best work, or his worse.

The new record has grown on me after several listens but it is not his best work. If I had to put money on the table, I would venture and say Ryan is smoking quite a bit of the good stuff on a daily basis. This might explain the "Dead" feel and influence depending on what he has been listening to.

When he came out on stage, I almost did not recognize him. Scraggly thick beard, long hair and a flannel shirt with his large glasses. Regardless, I think he is one of the brightess talents in rock for quite a while.
