The polarizing alt-country pretty boy Ryan Adams is set to release his 9th album Easy Tiger on June 26th via Lost Highway Records. The Cardinals (again) joined him as a backing band which is good since I liked Jacksonville City Nights more than virtually all of his post-Heartbreaker output. Easy Tiger (however) sounds like it could be a return to form.

MP3 | Ryan Adams – Everybody Knows Easy Tiger
Even though what I’ve heard of Easy Tiger sounds promising, my favorite Ryan Adams stuff is still probably Whiskeytown. Way back in 1996 before he went solo, Ryan Adams and drummer Skillet Gilmore (both of Whiskeytown at that point) formed the short-lived indie alt-country band Freightwhaler and (to the best of my knowledge) the songs below (known as The Freightwhaler Sessions) are all that was documented.
MP3 | Freightwhaler – At The Drive-In The Freightwhaler Sessions
MP3 | Freightwhaler – Bar Lights The Freightwhaler Sessions
MP3 | Freightwhaler – The Ghosts Are Out Tonight The Freightwhaler Sessions
MP3 | Freightwhaler – Sometimes That’s Hard To Do The Freightwhaler Sessions
MP3 | Freightwhaler – Picture Of Jesus On The Dashboard The Freightwhaler Sessions

And just to make this comment useful, I read in the Wiki entry to easy tiger says that the female vocalist in two is none other than Sheryl Crow. Their voices are a oerfect fit IMHO though maybe not as special as with Emmy in Sweet Carolina
but it seems that the files are missing, escept "at the drive in". or is it just me?
C'mon get moving (a mixtape) Meat and Potatoes for dinner tonight
