Ryan Adams (Cancelled) - Big Colors (Also Cancelled) Album • Page 4

This is the only album I've been able to check out so far but this is fantastic! Thank you!

I figured I wasn't the only person going through this same thing. What was your first dance song? I will definitely check those out. I've heard a lot about Noah Gunderson over the years but never really checked him out. I'll have to fix that.

I actually really loved "Die Midwestern" when it came out as a single but I didn't know the album was out yet. I'm gonna have to check that out! I'll check out some John Moreland too

Thank you everyone for the great suggestions! You may now return to (rightfully) flaming this man and his sad attempt for a comeback that no one ask for

 

Start with his full-length Ledges and work your way forward slowly.

Also, I've been recommending the Ken Yates album Quiet Talkers from this year to basically everyone haha. Given your stated tastes, I think you'd be into it.

 

@THW we did a short dance to "I love you, but I don't know what to say" from Fire & Ashes. Not our favorite album from him by any means, but it fit the vibe. Curiosity got me this afternoon and I streamed the new RA album on YouTube using VPN. It's a snoozer to be honest.

There are way too many other good artists out there that deserve support.

If you're looking for that alt-country sound, the album "Apologies" by David Ramirez may scratch that itch. Also gotta plug Katie Pruitt who released an amazing album this year.

 

Some good suggestions so far. I'd add Will Hoge (particularly Draw the Curtains and The Wreckage), John Fullbright (Songs), Travis Meadows (First Cigarette), and Jon Latham (Lifers).

And Jason Isbell, of course.

 

This was a surprise release. Taylor releasing on the same day couldn’t have planned because it’s not like this was some grand comeback entrance that was being advertised and hyped.

Also, you can’t tell me that this isn’t Ryan’s burner.

Despite singing one of my 50 favorite songs of all time, his last few albums have admittedly been middling, so I have little interest in a new album on purely musical purposes. Isbell’s Southeastern is better than all but two of Adams’ entire albums.

 

that burner account fails to mention his sexual abuse of a 15 year old for multiple years when he was 40, but sure whatever bud

 

And also like, yeah, all those other people are bad, too.

 

you don’t have to listen to this. you really don’t. i promise you it’ll be okay.

 

He also had a burner account when he first fell and was responding to Mandy Moore and stuff and she actually replied to it and said something like "Ryan! We know this is you and this is so pathetic" or something. I tried finding it but must've been deleted as it was 2+ years ago now probably

 

Oh, I forgot the most important "Listen to this instead of Ryan Adams" pick of all: Silver Landings, the amazing Mandy Moore album from this year that he wouldn't let her make because he was too much of an insecure prick!

 

Two Fridays left in the year. How much you wanna bet he’ll dump Big Colors and the other album?

 

I remember Mandy doing that as well but I haven't found screenshots yet. But he did it under Tod Wiesenbakers IG too

Is Ryan Adams sh*tposting on his ex-guitarist’s Instagram under a fake name?

 

holy shit those tweets are pathetic

 

Yeah that’s a great first dance song. Hopefully the baggage from its writer hasn’t tarnished what should be a beautiful memory for you guys.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions! I’ve got lots of great music to dive into over the coming weeks.

 

How can a musician be so tone deaf? Lol

 

ask the people who took jesse lacey’s picture last month

 

Gotta say so far I'm glad that none of the larger publications have drawn attention to this dropping. The only one I've seen is NME and they are less than reputable so that's really not much of a surprise

 

it’s gonna drop and be forgotten in a week like most of his albums the last decade before the allegations should have been

 

Lol it's defffffinitely his burner.

 

Another reminder that for every story you hear, there are often so many folks who never talk about their shitty experience. It’s never just the ones who come out.

 

Good lord. This guy

Edit: No let me add on. This is pathetic to levels I can't currently compare it too. Ryan Adams was a MASSIVE part of my life and the last few years have put him from a most played to literally haven't played a second of his music.
I sometimes wonder to myself if there's any way back for him in my eyes and I don't think so. Stuff like this burner account (his THIRD since the FBI stuff) is unbelievable. The guy's almost 50, no? I don't know what to really say but it's both infuriating, disappointing, pathetic, hurtful... it goes on. What a loser

 

@THW I’d echo Craig and others and say Jason Isbell and Ruston Kelly. Andy Shauf, Fionn Regan, Kathleen Edwards, Katie Pruitt, Lori McKenna, The Milk Carton Kids, The Rosebuds, and Courtney Marie Andrews would be worth looking into as well. Phoebe Bridgers has a song that references him off her first album.

 

Isbell and Old 97's also have songs that reference Ryan Adams ("Chaos and Clothes" and "Crash on the Barrelhead", respectively).

 

Forgot about “Chaos and Clothes”!

 

This just popped up on my Spotify for no reason other than that I used to listen to his music before the allegations were brought to light. The fuck?
