Ryan Adams makes waves with self-titled, self-produced album
From the Best of Q: Singer-songwriter Ryan Adams is back after a three year pause in his musical output.
Ryan Adams is famously prolific — releasing, on average, an album a year alongside a bevy of EPs and live recordings. His latest effort is already a critical hit, but it's special for several other reasons.
Not only is it the first album he's released after an unusual three-year pause, but it's also the follow to a different collection he recorded but ultimately shelved. It makes sense that the new record is self-titled: he recorded it on his own, in his new home studio, without the input of an outside producer.
In a segment from the Best of Q, Adams joins guest host Tom Power to discuss his solo effort and perform two songs live.
