Ryan Adams can do no wrong. This release is a set of b-sides that didn’t make the cut for Prisoner, his 2017 LP, and from what I hear these are way better. Alt-country/rock, great guitars, drums, epic outros. Play it!!!

Favorites: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 17 (honestly all)
FCC: 7

1. (2:32) Where Will You Run?—Distortion, riffs
2. (3:53) *** Juli—Somber late sunset track, amazing bridge, one of my fav tracks in a while
3. (3:57) ** Are You Home?—Faster tempo, wistful roughened vox, chiming guitars, so good!!
4. (2:53) ** No Words—Straight guitar-driven rock, 90s
5. (2:59) * Halo—Driving rock, little bit Springsteen
6. (4:02) * It Will Never Be the Same—Alt country opening, then breaks into rock w/ some nice piano cuts
7. (3:09) ** What If We’re Wrong—Classic, total jam. FCC: shit
8. (3:37) Broken Things—Slower, acoustic guitar, piano
9. (3:25) * Stop You—Chiming guitars, melancholy
10. (2:34) ** Hanging On to Hope—Swinging, awesome guitar and drum interplay
11. (3:14) Let It Burn—Upbeat guitar rock
12. (3:34) * Crazy Now—Strummed acoustic guitars, fast, good vox
13. (3:44) ** You Said—Intense full-bodied soulful rock, great strong vox
14. (3:44) Please Help Me—Fast country
15. (6:52) *** Too Tired to Cry—Mid-tempo classic rock inspired, w/ Ryan’s distinctive guitar tones, great rolling drums + vox
16. (3:38) Stop Talking—Standard chiming guitars drums until epic outro, starts around 2:20
17. (3:53) * The Empty Bed—Extremely sparse acoustic, vocals at the fore , moving lyrics
