Jacksonville City Nights is my favorite thing that he has done since Heartbreaker.

they are all good and each one is totally different. 29 is mainly solo stuff, slower songs. Cold Roses and JCN are both great.

also there are a ton of free RA concerts on archive.org and ryanadamsarchive.com. The show at the Norva from July is really good.

JCN was one of my favorite albums of last year, one of those cds i love to listen to start to finish.

29 is... eh. can you still listen to it on his website? 29 sounds like those 8-song EPs he was releasing right when he got super popular after Gold.

Cold Roses is my favorite anything Ryan besides "Stranger's Almanac" ... I like what one of my favorite novelists, George Pelecanos said about Cold Roses on his website:

Quote :

"The inlaid cover displaying a blue rose and titles like "Magnolia Mountain" have caused others to opine that this is Ryan's Grateful Dead move, but it's more an influence than a sound. American Beauty and Workingman's Dead were both pioneering works of country rock (not alt-country) but they worked primarily because the songs and the players were so good. With Cold Roses, Adams audaciously releases a double "album" (the CDs are fashioned as vinyl records) and for the first time in his career makes sure that every track counts. Fans think Heartbreaker was his best, but it's way too quiet for my tastes, and Gold was only one half a of a great record. Cold Roses is the one Ryan has been threatening to make since embarking on his own, and the Cardinals, the tightest band he's ever fronted, make the difference. Great songs that rock, evocative instrumental touches, and good songwriting. A double for the price of one makes this the buy of the year. Cold Roses is the best record Ryan Adams has recorded since his days in Whiskeytown. And no, you don't have to like him to like his music."
