Ryan Adams – Demolition

Vinyl LP. The success of Gold" in 2001, fueled a monstrously creative streak in the already prolific Ryan Adams. With a hodge-podge of band mates, friends, guests and other musicians, he laid down enough new songs to fill four full albums in less than a year. This 2002 album picks at will through those offerings, eschewing a more themed approach to album craft. Even the album title "Demolition" plays on the fact these are effectively a bunch of demos plucked from several albums that were in the works. Getting back to his alt. Country sound, and away from "Gold's" homage to '70s artists, fans will enjoy the edge and twang of songs such as "Tennessee Sucks," "Cry on Demand" and "Chin Up, Cheer Up." But there is some true rock on numbers such as "Starting to Hurt." The album peaked at #28 on the Billboard 200 chart. Lost Highway Records."
