this incredibly prolific artist has made one of his best albums. ryan adams is absolutely one of my favorite artists, and easy tiger proves that he is one of america's greatest song writers. 2005 was a good year for adams fans. we got 3 albums (one being a double album). 2006 saw nothing from him, but my first listen to easy tiger filled that void very quickly. good night rose is almost epic sounding, and is one of those perfect album openers. two (which is the second track) the sun also sets and everybody knows, shows what adams is capable of. with all the songs he has written, he is still able to create these gems. halloweenhead is the rocker on this album, and brings to mind his aptly titled rock n roll album. on tears of gold, adams shows us his country chops. i taught myself how to grow old ends the album perfectly. easy tiger is an album that impressed critics this year, but i feel it will never be completely appreciated. could adams be this generations neil young? easy tiger thinks so.
