Ryan Adams performed an acoustic version of “Gimme Something Good” last night on The Late Late Show, which was guest hosted by Judd Apatow. He was accompanied by legendary musician Don Was for a somber rendition of the Ryan Adams track.
The performance happened on the same day that it was announced Adams and Mandy Moore filed for a divorce. US Weekly has a statement from Moore’s rep that reads, “Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams have mutually decided to end their marriage of almost 6 years… It is a respectful, amicable parting of ways and both Mandy and Ryan are asking for media to respect their privacy at this time.”
In context, you can understand why this performance is so much heavier than other performances we’ve seen of the song. With Ryan Adams on acoustic guitar and Don Was on upright bass, the two turn the original into a model of haunting beauty. Ryan gently strums the song while Don lays the bass foundation. The vocals highlight the song, as Ryan delivers them with emotion and determination.
“Gimme Something Good” is the first track from Ryan Adams’ 2014 self-titled release,
