Ryan Adams

Man, I gotta say that Ryan Adams is a true heart breaker for me. When this album came out in 2000, I was totally smitten by his raggedy folk punk take on country music. This album came out at the right time in my life, and it provided the soundtrack to many hours spent aimlessly driving through the woods of Maine, going to swimming ponds and the beach, trying to figure out what I was doing with my life.

I had high hopes for whatever else Mr. Adams was going to do, but for whatever reason, didn’t get into his later career. Reports of his increasingly erratic behavior and “letting it all hang out” emotional states just kind of soured me on his music. At any rate, even if Ryan Adams’ subsequent career might be a heart breaker for me, there’ll always be this album.
