Ryan Adams did not wear the T-shirt of some intense metal band on Stephen Colbert’s Late Show last night. Instead, he wore a simple striped T-shirt. As far as Ryan Adams TV appearances go, that counts as a fashion breakthrough. Adams was Colbert’s musical guest last night, and he played a tough, heartfelt take on “Outbound Train,” one of the highlights from Prisoner, the album that he released earlier this year. He also fit his wall-of-TVs set into Colbert’s studio. Watch the performance below.

Prisoner is out now on Pax Am/Blue Note/Capitol.
