Ryan Adams-Easy Tiger *****
Once again back with the great Cardinals, and making the best album of his career...so far. Easy Tiger is pure and simple genius. Brilliance in it's truest and purest musical form. The attitude is still there, the drugs are gone, and the lyrics are twice as honest and haunting making this miles above all his previous work.
Subject matter ranging love and love lost ('Two' 'Everybody Knows' 'Tears Of Gold') to drugs and all around young mischief ('Halloweenhead'). 'Everybody Knows' is among his best recorded, and lyrically 'Tears Of Gold' might be his strongest of all time. 'Oh My God, Whatever, Etc' is nothing short of chilling. Nothing short of genius. 'Pearls On A String' would be typical in someone elses hands but Adams makes it a killer.
Easy Tiger is one of the most breath taking albums of the last twenty years, and really the only one of real importance in the last three.
After touring with Willie Nelson and Phil Lesh and Friends in 2006, alt-country singer-songwriter Ryan Adams released his ninth album, Easy Tiger, a collection of thirteen emotionally intense songs written during Adams' extended period of alcohol and heroin abuse that ended in 2006. Easy Tiger reveals Ryan Adams at his best as a singer-sonwriter, and gave him the worldwide attention he long deserved. Sheryl Crow contributes backing vocals on the song, "Two," and Rolling Stone ranked "Halloweenhead" among the 50 Best Songs of 2007. The complete Easy Tiger setlist includes:
1. Goodnight Rose 3:20
2. Two 2:38
3. Everybody Knows 2:25
4. Halloweenhead 3:23
5. Oh My God, Whatever, Etc. 2:31 9
6. Tears Of Gold 2:53
7. The Sun Also Sets 4:09
8. Off Broadway 2:31
9. Pearls On A String 2:23
10. Rip Off 3:12
11. Two Hearts 3:03
12. These Girls 2:50
13. I Taught Myself How To Grow Old 3:21

This is an amazing album. Ryan Adams, one of the most prolific songwriters of our generation, and dare I say a musical genius has some great tracks on this album, including "Two", "Tears of Gold", "The Sun Also Sets", and "I Taught Myself How to Grow Old". The entire album flows incredibly well, and I love that unlike many mainstream artists that stack their best songs at the begininning of the album, Adams clearly puts a lot of thought into song order, and making a cohesive album to begin with, making the entire album a joy to listen to.
