There's a chance I could go see Ryan Adams and the Cardinals in the next two months - is this a band worth seeing? Good music, good live band, what? I know very little about the guy and nothing at all about the band, so if you have thoughts/information/squeeing/vituperation about him/them, please share!

I'm definitely a fan of Ryan Adams himself, though I don't profess to know much about the Cardinals. He runs along the same vein as Howie Day and Matt Nathanson. I have some music I can upload when I get home, if you'd like.

I have no idea who those people are. :)

But yes, some music would be much appreciated, thank you!

Hee. I was slow with this, so you might have already gotten them from other people. It's just a few random songs. A taster. ♥

OMG YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you want some of his music, let me know. I have everything, including his band Whiskeytown. Ryan is a bitchy diva (I think there are at least four songs by other artists that are all about hating him) but his lyrics are AMAZING and his voice is gorgeous.

My favorite album of his is Jacksonville City Nights. There is a song on there, called The End, that digs at the heart of what it is, to me, about being a misplaced Southerner and how we feel about going back home.

That sounds promising, I'm all for bitchy divas! And yes, any music would be much appreciated, thanks!

Ahahahahaa, brilliant.

Seriously! The New Kid by the Old 97s springs immediately to mind.

Have you ever listened to Neko Case? If not, you should. I think you'd like her.

The End, Ryan Adams (https://rcpt.yousendit.com/611904901/acf47bbe1bff2c1a0e7720480abf0ad8).

(I have some of his stuff with the Cardinals--but it's at work, and on our home computer, and I'm doing this on my laptop b/c of moving--so I can upload more next week!)

Furnace Room Lullaby, Neko Case (https://www.yousendit.com/download/bVlETmZXRSs5NVd4dnc9PQ). Because this song is GORGEOUS.

Thank you!

Ryan Adams' first album was awesome (to the extent that I heard a track playing in my local wine-store, asked them what it was and went straight out and bought the album) but I don't know much about his later stuff.

Okay, thanks for the rec! I shall see if I can get hold of it. :)
