Ryan Adams has spent a good period over the last two weeks playing unique covers for his audiences. Initailly with his new band the Shining At one show, he covered Oasis’ “Morning Glory” and “Supersonic” for the first time ever; and then at The Newport Folk Fest this past weekend, with his other band Infamous Stringdusters he reimagined Slayer and Black Sabbath songs as Bluegrass standards.
However, during his appearance on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert last night, Adams turned the focus back on his own material to give fans something special: He dusted off his 2000 Heartbreaker track “Oh My Sweet Carolina”. It was an intimate and sweet performance as well as a nice throwback moment, especially considering most artists usually play newer stuff off their repertoire when they hit up the late-night circuit.
For the performance, Ryan Adams was joined by Infamous Stringdusters along with Nicki Bluhm, who also accompanied him at Newport Folk Festival over the weekend.
