Not included in the original television broadcast. Last year, Ryan Adams and Jenny Lewis hit the road together in support of their new albums; in Adams’ case, it was his self-titled LP, while Lewis showcased her Adams-assisted third solo album The Voyager. One of their stops was an appearance on the Austin City Limits stage, and now both the Lewis and Adams performances will be featured in an ACL episode set to air this Saturday, January 24th.
While Adams’ six-song televised set will feature Ryan Adams tracks like “Stay With Me” and “Shadows,” this web-only performance of the Ashes & Fire opener “Dirty Rain,” with Adams and his stellar backing band faithfully recreating the track’s bluesy, organ-heavy sound on the ACL stage. “We came here to play you really depressing music, but really loud,” Adams tells the ACL crowd. The show marks the rocker’s first visit to the esteemed Austin venue in over a decade.
