thropless asked: You have 150 words tops to get me, the uninitiated, into Ryan Adams. Where do I begin, where do I go from there, and how much do you hate me for not already loving his music? Go.
This is a nice career overview: http://www.rawkblog.net/2011/06/bootleg-ryan-adams-folketeatret-norway/
Heartbreaker is the album most people like: it’s his solo debut and his best alt-country effort.
Love is Hell is his most interesting set — Adventurous production, fine lyricism, and the point in his career when he became an especially great singer.
Cold Roses is his most enjoyable, substantive guitar record.
29 is his best work as a lyricist, singer and storyteller, but you’ll have to be patient with it.
