Talkin’ About My Revolutions

A good selection of Ryan Adams covering the Grateful Dead with a lot of help from Phil Lesh.

RYAN ADAMS
Ryan Is Dead: Ryan Adams performs The Grateful Dead [no label, 2CD]
Selection compiled by Chris Goodwin (goodwin1970@verizon.net). More good stuff at www.ryanadamsarchive.com. Almost all soundboard.

When we first laid eyes on this set, we thought the title inappropriate - “condolences to the Adams family for their bereavement, etc”. Yet if you want a quick summary of Ryan Adams over past 10 years, it reads like a train wreck - fights with his label, numerous unreleased completed albums, critical success but commercial flop, hanging out with the stars from Elton John to Willie Nelson and perhaps the most lamentable forming a secret punk band to record two EPs repackaged as one CD called We Are Fuck You. He has released 10 albums/EPs since 2000 and that’s not counting at least four other completed and unreleased albums.

This is a splendid collection with great sound. Thanks go to Chris Goodwin who made this compilation and xxxballion who shared it.
