      100 %! Those few years of Ryan with The Cardinals were magic. I'm so glad I was a fan back then and saw them live. Too bad that Neal's life took such an early end. The last few RA albums weren't any good, mediocre at best IMO. Though I always have JCN, Cold Roses and 29 - three all-time albums in one year. Unbelievable.

    I keep coming back to Ryan Adams time and time again. His catalogue is unbelievable. He should have greater success and public awareness and accolades but like most things with RA, it's complicated. These songs will endure because they are so strong. Great sadness about Neal - seemed like a sweet soul.

    Hi, thank you for reviewing this. It was a small concert recorded in Dingle Ireland. “Two” was written by Ryan and Brad Pemberton - the drummer in the band The Cardinals. Tragically, Neil took his own life in 2019. I agree that this song is outstanding - but that is true of so many of Ryan’s songs. For me, Ryan Adams is the best singer/songwriter of the modern era. I would venture that the sheer poetry of his lyrics are right up there with Dylan. And to say he has been prolific is an understatement. And it continues. Please listen to a brand new song (demo) for 2024 called ‘Amethyst’. It’s breathtakingly remarkable in every way. You mention the raw ‘honesty’ in Ryan’s lyrics and this latest song epitomises exactly that. I could quote every beautifully crafted line and I promise you will be moved deep in your soul. I saw him on his recent tour and this one man and his guitar (there were many guitars, almost a different one for each song!!) just held the audience in the palm of his hand. No fancy foot pedals, just Ryan, guitar, harmonica - interspersed with piano.
    Thank you for your channel and for generously sharing your guitar expertise ✨🫶🏻✨

    The one time I got to see Neal perform live was at The Bijou in Knoxville. He was the opener for a Cardinals show. My main memory of his set is that he paused after a few songs and said something like, "The thing about live music is that it almost always sounds good out there where you're sitting. This is one of the rare theaters where it sounds good up here too." Beautiful player, beautiful voice, beautiful songs.

Sometimes I think there’s a pressure to find more “interesting” parts, chords, etc, but when it comes down to it the most memorable songs are simple with beautiful melodies, great lyrics, and good ol’ cowboy chords. And yeah, the pristine accompaniment doesn’t hurt a bit. Always loved this tune.

    @jakeah1175 2 месяца назад +5

    Just saw Ryan live in Plymouth, UK and honestly he was on the best form I’ve seen him live… always reworking vocal melodies… inhabits the songs as living, breathing, always evolving things. Crazy good pitch and tone. That said, he had something seriously magical with Neal who was incredible in his own right, particularly with harmony. Honestly think Ryan is infinitely better than Isbell - so much more nuance, character and dynamics.

    No matter how you feel, Ryan is hands down "THE" not one of, but "THE" greatest songwriter of at least my generation period! Noot one person is perfect and others hide their skeletons a little better, but hes always been honest. In his songs and the way he is. Most are going to keep pretending to be fake and fraudulent to please the masses, but with Ryan, what you see is what you get. Nobody, especially in the "industry", doesnt have personal b.s. Keep it up Ryan, youve gone through everything, and your a surviver of addiction, family death and by an ego centric, evil industry. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
