Ryan Adams unleashed his new solo album earlier this month and it's everything that I was expecting and more! Anyone who frequents here often will know of my love of all thing Ryan and how devastated I was when he announced he was quitting music in 2009.

He's been in the studio with the legendary Glyn Johns on production duties, whose son Ethan Johns has worked with Ryan on Heartbreaker, Gold and 29. The new album, 'Ashes & Fire' is up there with his best work and is certainly his most focused and consistent album to date.
There's even an official music video, a first since 'So Alive' from 2003's 'Rock N Roll'. The video is for 'Lucky Now':
And here's an awesome acoustic take on the title track:
