DJ Reggie left his hip hop gear at ryan hyphen adams dot com, instead donning his beloved Batman tee at a recent performance on The Henry Rollins Show, giving IFC viewers their first taste of his forthcoming, June-released record. “Goodnight Rose” is the album opener, and it sounds like a holdover from the Jerry-loving Cold Roses sessions. Which is to say, lots of mixolydian moments and Dead-friendly choruses. Watch the performance here and Ry’s “interview” here.

    So, Henry Rollins doesn’t appear on the Henry Rollins show? That makes the program seem a bit more bearable.

    That song is amazing.

  3. to the batcave! …to make more.

    man, ryan adams is a bad ass

  5. The vibe reminds me of Traffic. Is that a good or bad thing?

  6. David McCaffredy  |   Posted on Apr 18th, 2007

    I also like how Ryan is interviewing himself at the end because Henry Rollins didn’t bother to show up while the rest of the band awkwardly nods along.

  7. TK–Traffic is a good thing

  8. …but the song doesnt sound like traffic–it sounds like the grateful dead

    the song is amazing.

    but….is it just me, or does he have braces on his upper teeth?

    he smiles during the interview, and it’s nothing but metal on those things.

    I’m getting bored of the Cardinals sound. The past three albums were all really solid, but this sounds really similar to what would have been found on the last three albums. I don’t think it’s Ryan either, I think it’s distinctively his backing band. He’s gotta have a hand in it, but still. This sounds… the same. = /

    Shampoo is a wonderful, wonderful thing. Why don’t you wash your hair, Ryan? You might enjoy it.

    i’m more impressed with his red shoe/boot/footwear.
    ladies section?

  13. kevin  |   Posted on Apr 18th, 2007

    I love his music. I hate hearing him ramble.

  14. Traffic = good

    But this tune is way into Grateful Dead territory…. YIKES!

  15. Loved it.

    i don’t know… i think dirty hair is kinda sexy. i’m kind of weird though.

    I too have become a little tired of the cardinals sound, but that song was good.

    I love the t-shirt too, nearly as good as the Speed Racer one I saw Will Smith wearing in an old clip today.

  18. Peter Kelley  |   Posted on Apr 18th, 2007

    This song sounds amazing and Ryan is really into it! Great!

  19. kevin  |   Posted on Apr 18th, 2007

    ryan adams is the shit, and i love all of it. the nasty hair, the even nastier teeth, the bipolarity, the shoes, the ranting, the music.

  20. stephen  |   Posted on Apr 20th, 2007

    yeah he loves the sound of his own voice that guy. it did sound like it could come straight off Cold Roses. I’d love it for him to go back and do another Heartbreaker without the Cardinals. Laid back, downtempo, acoustic. Although I don’t have a problem with the music he’s doing now, he seems to have found a musical niche here that he’s happy with.

  21. Greg  |   Posted on Apr 21st, 2007

    ha saw the interview too and definitely looks like Ryan Adams got braces, or as we say in dental school ‘maxillary orthodontics’

  22. Brad Piche  |   Posted on Apr 22nd, 2007

    It sounds like a very well crafted combination of Greatful Dead and something from Neil Young and Crazy Horse{1st album or Tonights The Night}….two very great flavors in one…..This song{Goodnight Rose} and the performance{What Sin} are jaw dropping…he has great conviction over his song’s, this guy’s musical art has got a great deal of passion behind it.

  23. Man, it pisses me off people talkin’ shit about teeth and hair with such great music under scrutiny. Ryan Adams and The Cardinals are great! They’re one of the only bands around that have integrity. People who want to hear another Heartbreaker should go back and actually listen to it. Classics don’t grow old! Greasy hair!? Braces!? Who gives a fuck! They Rock!

  24. I don’t know Ryan, but I would love to. I think he’s an amazing, beautiful person who has produced some of the finest music that has enriched my life. He’s an artist and a genius and his music is beautiful and brilliant. Historically, many significantly contributing artists have had troubled lives. Most geniuses are a little crazy, aren?t they? Look at him for his art and his contribution. Saying he?s insecure, I?d say it?s more like he doesn?t give a shit what people think of him, which is actually pretty refreshing. I can?t wait to see him play in Colorado in August and I can?t wait for his new album to come out in June, the two tracks I?ve heard are amazing. I want to see him live sooner than later, to make sure I get the chance.

    Grateful Dead/Traffic, whatever it sounds beautiful. Hopefully he can put together a coherent tour this year

  26. “Ryan Adams is assembling a veritable grab bag of b-side tracks for a box-set slated for release this summer. According to a Lost Highway spokesperson the box-set will include live tracks, the unreleased albums 48 Hours and The Suicide Handbook, the commonly bootlegged Bedhead series and leftover tracks from the upcoming Easy Tiger.”

    Hell of a year for RA sounds like.

    Fucking LEGEND

    Ryan Adams is much more than a great singer/songwriter. He is a very complex person by all accounts. Man who wouldnt love to lay down with him while he played guitar and sang.
