This pic is from the Newport Jazz fest. There is a stream of his set from that show which is really good. Awesome singer/songwriter/guitarist.

Here is the stream.

Cold Roses great LP.

Funny how people either love or hate a guy.

Heartbreaker is his best album (in my and many others' opinion) but Gold may be a better introduction because it's more diverse with more rock and pop.

If you're already into country á la Gram Parsons, start with Heartbreaker.

If you're more into rock and pop, Gold is probably easier to get into.

Perfect analysis.

Gold is way too long. Its about 60% good. I'm a big Adams fan who knows every record. Start with Heartbreaker.

Agree, some of it starts to sound the same. Sometimes I start that album thinking "man this is a great album full of great stuff" then get about 2/3s through it and think "I thought i heard this song already". :-)

Managed to get a ticket for ryan in London next month. First show sold out in about a minute, but I took a gamble that a second show would be added and kept refreshing the ticket page for new dates. 20 mins later a new link came up for a new show the night before. Got stalls tickets. So relieved right now!
