bradm Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 I'd start with some of the live recordings:http://www.archive.org/details/RyanAdamsThe Montreal show from last September is good, as is the Toronto show from a few days later; and the recordings sound really good, as Adams offers up a soundboard matrix to tapers.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guigsy Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 my favourite is Cold Roses, but i think Easy Tiger is probably the best representation of him as an artist, overall.Jacksonville City Nights and Heartbreaker are absolute must-have's, as well, and Gold is solid all the way through.if you're not sold after those 5....

Schwa. Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 I'd start with some of the live recordings: you would Get the Cold Roses double disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are bonus tracks if you just buy it on iTunes. I think I like Easy Tiger the most though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcO Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Don't start with unauthorized live recordings.Try "Cold Roses" or "Jacksonville City Nights" for fairly representative introductions to Ryan Adams. "Easy Tiger" is less consistent then those recordings but is fairly accessible, as is "Heartbreaker" and "Gold". All of these are filled with tremendous songs mixed with inconsequential filler."29" and "Love Is Hell" are a bit more far-out and adventurous, but I'd recommend "Love Is Hell" anyday.

AWeeJig Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 My first and only Ryan Adams purchase was Easy Tiger. It's a great album. I'll be investing in some others fairly soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 do i have to do everything around here? get the acoustic recordings from summer 2007, notably seattle, portland, santa cruz (might be electric).. also get 2006-10-17 das haus, germany, all of this is available on archive.orgbetter than the albums and better than anything cloaked in amps and distortion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 You may want to check out CD's from Ryan's early band Whiskeytown . One of the reasons why Ryan caused a sensation when he broke onto the scene was because of his first two solo albums, Gold and Heartbreaker. They are both excellent. I even like his Replacements diversion in 2003, Rock N Roll. I'd like to argue that Jacksonville City Nights is his best album. It's fucking old country and beautiful.
