Music Monday: Ryan Adams

Finally another Music Monday post.  This is one that I'm pretty excited about.  Yesterday NPR posted an article about Ryan Adams' upcoming release that also allows you to stream the entire album from their website!

The post talks about his range in musical genres and also the effects of his Meiniere's disease.  I have been listening to this album non-stop since I found the article.     After the departure from the signature RA that I love with the metal album, Orion, and the last release was a mix of songs from previous recording sessions and was so, so, I was weary of what to expect.

What I heard out of 'Ashes and Fire' is dead on for what I was hoping for out of this new album.  It is rather good.  I'm mildly in love with it, but you judge for yourself because I'm kind of impartial to RA.  Click through the picture to the NPR article and stream.

I am really hopeful that he'll make a tour stop in Indianapolis.  I would love the chance to hear some of this new material.

Happy listening,
