I have ALL of Ryan Adams' music, including Whiskeytown. I've really liked (loved) some CDs and songs and rated him as one of my favorite artists. I was anticipating this CD and am very, very disappointed. It meanders all over the place, like how Ryan himself meanders all through a performance. I've seen Ryan perform live twice. Each time, I wonder if he even knows where he is. He reminds me very much of a friend of mine who has ADD. I often wonder if Ryan has ADD, but it's probably just the booze and drugs.Ryan Adams is/was/might be a good song writer, good musician, or good singer. However, one CD after another simply meanders across a range of styles and emotions. I bought this CD, but will NOT buy Jacksonville City Nights or any others. After experiencing how he treats (mistreats) his fans at his concerts, I'd rather give my money to better musicians and better people. Check out Neil Young's Prairie Wind for a far superior artist and a much better person!!!
