So Mister Ryan Adams has a new album on the way. It’s called ROCK N ROLL. He looks classic on the cover. You can download the MP3 for the song “So Alive” in the music section of his site. I think he’s trying to sing in a strange faux-Brit accent instead of his usual alt-country twang. The song itself is kinda cheesy in an ‘adult contemporary’ kinda way but it’s very ‘nice’. It’s a grower.
As for the album, I award him 10,000 points for song titles such as “Note To Self: Don’t Die”, “Do Miss America” and “Anyone Wanna Take Me Home”. Heart. He also gets props for “This Is It” (The Strokes anyone?) and “She’s Lost Total Control” (Joy Division?), “Wish You Were Here” (now come on - this is getting a wee bit silly)!
What a strange boy... I can barely wait!
