Earlier this year, Ryan Adams released four albums of new and original material and one live album, playing his record Prisoner from start to finish. It's taken me far too long to review these records so I'm going to do so over the next few days. Artists simply don't make music that sounds like AM radio in the late 70s, early 80s and I truly feel these records deserve a special focus.
I'm going to start with Star Sign which is easily the best of the four, representing the themes and style that Adams is famous for. So, it's the Album of the Week!
This track made me cry the first time I heard it...
How does this guy get so deep into the soul?
The next standout track is just classic AM Gold.
The album closes with this dark but hopeful number...
An absolute stunner of a record!
