What blows me away about Ryan Adams is that he has the ability to write amazing songs and he has the vocal ability to make them great. Yet, he has no filter. He's not afraid to put out three albums in a year with one of them being a double album. That's like 50 songs and even if half of them are awesome, that leaves half that are mediocre of down right bad. What to do? I have given in and even embraced the ridiculousness of it all. He is definitely worth seeing live because you know it is going to be an entertaining show. He's either going to impress you with his ability to play live or he'll amuse you with his awesome level of pretentiousness. Either way, you get your money's worth. "Let it Ride" comes off one of his most consistent albums, Cold Roses, and offers an upbeat tempo. I figured since the last few songs were a little depressing, I would not pull out a melancholic Adam's song.

Was that Ryan Adams or Rivers Cuomo under all of that hair? Good choice. This is one of the better songs off of that album...
