No, he sucks big-time. That ain't folk!

...haven't heard it, but thanks for the heads up. If it's anything like Heartbreakers, I think I should like it. And to my loosely defined aural sensibilities, it is folk.

I don't think this is the same man as Bryan Adams, who did "Everything I Do" which featured at the end of the Robin Hood film. Most people around here are likely to see both of them as rock stars with only very tenuous links to the folk scene. I can't see either of them getting on the Grand Old Opry or doing the Nettlebed Folk Club.

I can't believe somebody at a music site would confuse me with a kid like Ryan. We're not even from the same country.

I can't believe that anybody would believe that somebody at a music site would confuse Bryan with Ryan.

Never mind, time to pack the rod and net away and listen to some Ritney Spiers ....

Ryan Adams is pretty cool. He's from Jacksonville, North Carolina, where I live right now. His stuff from his old Whiskeytown days was awesome...even wrote a song called "Jacksonville Skyline." He gets bonus points for coming up with one of my favorite lines ever: "I'd rather get a gun and blow my eyeball out."

Evidently his first two CD's are more loved than the latest

Rumour is that Ryan wrote a more folk orientated set for this CD but it was rejected by the record company

In protest he has knocked out a more rock orientated set of songs pinching riffs from T Rex & titles from Pink Floyd

The title song - Rock & Roll is a remnant from the original album - quite haunting & the girl pleading repeatedly in the background is quite distressing (brilliant though it's simple)
