Ryan Adams coming to the Fox
I saw last night that Ryan Adams and the Cardinals (whose website is a mess, but who play so well, don’t you agree?) are coming to Atlanta’s Fabulous Fox Theater, which is freakin’ awesome. I’ve been regretting not going to see him at the Tabernacle for several months; now I can fill that void (and help Ticketmaster out, too — “convenience charge” is now $9.25 per ticket).
He’s also independently peddling is new album, Easy Tiger as a DRM-free 256Kbps MP3 download, which is very cool. You can preview the album there; a few favorite tracks of mine are “Two”, “Halloweenhead” (?) and “Oh My God, Whatever, Etc.”
It’s usually easier to write these entries (the ones pimping my favorite artists, such as The Flaming Lips), because usually they’re doing something rather wild and interesting. Ryan Adams, to me, is just really damn good. It’s just rock with a bit of [good] country. But played by talented musicians.
Note: This is not Bryan Adams (if that wasn’t cringe-worthy, this is sure to be), who is playing Chastain Park with Rod Stewart and 82,063 ants raised on Chardonnay and aged gouda.

I HATE those ants! Every one of those dang guys always seems to find his/her/its way to my seat, too…every time! Maybe if people would just switch to swiss instead, Chastain wouldn’t have this problem…keep the gouda at home.
