Ryan Adams & The Cardinals - Follow The Lights
Friday, October 26, 2007
The latest EP from Ryan Adams continues the vibe of Easy Tiger and features a few new tracks, a cover and live studio tracks. The songs are slow and somber but not dark like the songs found on Love Is Hell. They are chalk full of Americana with slide guitars and beautiful melodies that blend together to create a lush and majestic music landscape. The highlight of the EP would be the Alice in Chain's cover of "Down In A Hole". Instead of the crunchy sound you have warm slides and acoustic guitars. The subtle aggression is still present and Ryan does a great job with the tortured vocals Layne Stanley is so famous for. I am always interested in Ryan's covers and this may be his best one yet. Track 5 "This Is It" is from RocknRoll but given a facelift with the help of the Cardinals. I highly recommend this EP, the 7 tracks are fresh and its enough to get us thru til another proper full length.
