RYAN ADAMS – ” 1989 ” Taylor Swift Album Covered in Full (Part One)

For weeks everywhere there has been rumors of Ryan Adams covering Taylor Swift’s 1989 album in full , Ryan Adams himself has been teasing us with short clips of Taylor Swift’s 1989.  he announced that album’s release date as Monday 21st September and shared the first song . Zane Lowe debuted Adams’ version of Swift’s massively bratty summer smash “Bad Blood” on Beats 1 Radio earlier this month, and he’s turned it into a wounded, searching acoustic song. Just like the original, though, it will lodge itself in your head all day. Thankfully, he does not attempt any of the Kendrick Lamar verses from the song’s video version. We’ve already heard a clip of Adams’ version of the song, but you can hear the whole thing below.

The digital version of Adams’ 1989 is out and Lowe will interview Adams on the radio that morning, and he’ll also field a phone call from “a very special guest.” Gee, I wonder who that could be!
This is actually happening, Ryan Adams is releasing a song-for-song cover of Taylor Swift’s album “1989.” Swift is enthusiastic about it, noting that “Ryan’s music helped shape my songwriting.”

like most people today, I’ve been listening to Ryan Adams’ take on 1989 (and talking about it a bunch). a few thoughts ,I think mainly this just appears what an incredibly good songwriter Taylor (and her posse) are. these are well constructed songs at their core. It also shows the greatness and depth Ryan teases out of ‘Out of the Woods’ is some kind of impressive. catchy pop song, moving sad bastard song.

It doesn’t really matter if you love/like all the interpretations ( I didn’t even know the originals), you have to love/like the fact he treated each song with respect and reverence- he didn’t treat this like some ‘dude in a dorm room with a guitar covering pop music’ thing.

“1989” isn’t the only release Ryan Adams has planned, either. He said his next two albums are already done and hopes to have them out in 2016. He recorded them earlier this year in New York City and describes the sound as existing somewhere between “Heartbreaker” and 2004’s “Love Is Hell.”

Yesterday at the The Bowery Ballroom in New York City, Ryan Adams was amongst a cast of musicians who took the stage at the  Neil Fest, a show in which performers paid tribute to the tunes of Neil Young. The Bowery Ballroom venue in NYC holds an annual tribute to Neil Young, titled what else, NeilFest. Yesterday, on the first of two nights, Ryan Adams covered 2 tunes accompanied by Norah Jones on the second.  Watch below via fan videos shot from the front row!   a two-night series celebrating the music of Neil Young. During the performance he covered a few classic Young tracks “Cinnamon Girl,” and “Old Man” with an assist from Norah Jones, and “Helpless,” led by vocalist Valerie June and featuring cameos from Body/Head and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ guitarist Nick Zinner.

Adams hammered out an excellent rendition of “Cinnamon Girl,” before having Norah Jones join him for a tender version of “Old Man.” You can watch both magical moments.

The all-star lineup of musicians converged on the Bowery Ballroom to pay tribute to Neil Young.

Last night’s show was the first of the two nights, and its lineup included Ryan Adams, Norah Jones, Jakob Dylan, Body/Head, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs guitarist Nick Zinner. A few videos have shown up on the internet, and they include authoritative, stripped-down version of “Cinnamon Girl” cover from Ryan Adams. Then Norah Jones sang backup on that one, and she also joined Adams for a duet version of “Old Man.” Jakob Dylan took on “Southern Man.” And Valerie June led the night’s entire lineup through a singalong version of “Helpless.” .

He was later joined by Body/Head, the duo consisting of Kim Gordon and Bill Nace, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs‘ Nick Zinner. The show closed with ‘Helpless’ performed as a collaborative finale led by Valerie June.

RYAN ADAMS – ” Times Like These ” Foo Fighters Cover

During a concert in Sydney Australia last night (July 21st), Ryan Adams paid tribute to Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl’s resilience following his recent leg injury by covering the band’s One by One hit, “Times Like These.” Before launching into his gorgeous, acoustic rendition of the Foos classic, Ryan Adams told the audience the song was dedicated to Grohl for “carrying on despite being totally broken.” Grohl, who broke his leg during a concert in Sweden, has soldiered on with the band’s current tour — in large part thanks to an extravagant throne Grohl designed himself.
According to NME, Adams’ “Times Like These” cover arrived during his encore at the Opera House in Sydney, along with his Heartbreaker favorite, “Come Pick Me Up.” The rest of the setlist — which can be found at the bottom of the page (via Setlist.fm) — featured a career-spanning collection of Adams’ songs, including cuts from the singer’s days with the Cardinals and Whiskeytown.
Ryan Adams has three more dates in Australia on the books, including an appearance at Splendour in the Grass festival this Friday (July 24). In November, he’ll play the Corona Capital Festival in Mexico City. Get more tour details on his website.

Ryan Adams and the Shining performed at the iconic Glastonbury Festival last weekend, and you can watch the full set below!, This Sunday, American artist Ryan Adams took to the Park Stage in patchy denim to perform in front of arcade cabinets and a crowd of thousands.

It says something about the astonishing work ethic Ryan Adams has that in the 15 years since he first embarked on a solo career, he has released two books and 14 albums – on his own and with The Cardinals – and managed to fit in a period of “retirement” in 2009, and a comeback. This on top of various side projects, including the disturbingly titled Sleazy Handshake, punk band Pornography and the black metal band Werewolph. He’s a hard man to keep track of, and that’s just the way he likes it.

As befits such a mercurial talent, he has turned up all over the BBC, with a Zane Lowe session here, a Dermot O’Leary there, and lots of on-air support from Bob Harris, Jo Whiley, Shaun Keaveny and Lauren Laverne. Even BBC Four has had him in for a live session, filmed in 2008. The only surprise is that this is only Ryan’s second stab at a Glastonbury performance, having had to pull out in 2005 with an ear infection. Grab your chance to see him close the Park Stage on Sunday night, before he’s off onto another project.

Setlist:

Gimmie Something Good, Let It Ride,To Be Young, Dirty Rain,  Stay With Me, New York New York,  Kim, Peaceful Valley, This House Is Not For Sale,  Shakedown On 9th Street,  Band Intros, When The Stars Go Blue,  Come Pick Me Up,  Magnolia Mountain,  Wonderwall (encore).

RYAN ADAMS – ” Starting To Hurt ” David Letterman Show

David Letterman is just a week away from retirement from The Late Show and brought Ryan Adams back to perform “Starting To Hurt” – the same song he performed on The Late show 13 years ago! Last night Ryan came back for his 11th and final performance on the Late Show with David Letterman, celebrating Dave’s incredible 22 year run. Watch a performance of “Starting To Hurt”, the same song which Ryan played during his second appearance on Letterman back in 2002.Check them both out below…Adams recently released a new 7-inch three-track EP called I Do Not Feel Like Being Good. He’s currently on the road performing a string of dates before he hits a handful of festivals, including Governors Ball, Glastonbury, and Sasquatch! 

Though it’s difficult to find a hard count, it’s quite possible that Ryan Adams has appeared on Late Show more than nearly any other musical guest during David Letterman’s nearly 22 year tenure. The alt-country singer made his tenth stop at the Ed Sullivan Theater just this past September, with the host noting, “We can’t have him on the show too often, he’s a delightfully talented gentleman.” Last night, Ryan Adams came back for his 11th and final ride, and what a final ride it was.

Adams and his band performed “Starting To Hurt”, the same song which he played during his second appearance on Letterman back in 2002.  The three-minute performance wasn’t enough for Letterman, however, who pleaded for a “little more.” Adams quickly obliged, leading his band into another rendition, this time with the backing of Paul Shaffer and the CBS Orchestra

    Natalie Prass is currently on tour as support with Ryan Adams, but sharing the stage each and every night for a few special performances together.  here they are together including a Ryan Adams classic “Come pick Me Up”  Natalie Prass is currently out taking over the world after her wonderful debut she is now on tour with Ryan Adams where he is covering her songs and she is singing with him.

    Natalie Prass , Last month, the Southern singer-songwriter released her elaborately orchestrated, ridiculously gorgeous self-titled debut album, and it’s one of the strongest debuts we’ve heard all year. Right now, Prass is touring the UK with Ryan Adams, and Adams is obviously a fan. Last week in Brighton, Adams covered Prass’ lovely song “Your Fool.” And then a couple of nights later in Leicester, Prass joined Adams onstage and sang backup on his “Heartbreaker” classics “Oh My Sweet Carolina” and “Come Pick Me Up.” Also worth nothing Prass has recently been covering Janet Jackson’s beautiful, love-drunk 1993 single “Any Time, Any Place” live.

    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 ,
    Jenny Lewis and Ryan Adams were the featured performers on the last weekend of January’s episode of Austin City Limits. Lewis played tracks from her two solo albums and a few Rilo Kiley tracks, while Ryan Adams did as much of a career-spanning set as he could with only six songs. This was Jenny Lewis’ first solo appearance on the show, and her first time on the show in almost a decade after she performed with Rilo Kiley in 2005. Adams hasn’t graced the ACL stage since 2006. Jenny Lewis also performed a web exclusive  “Slippery Slopes” one of my personal favourites.

    Jenny Lewis setlist:
    “Silver Lining”
    “Head Under Water”
    “Moneymaker”
    “Just One Of The Guys”
    “She’s Not Me”
    “Acid Tongue”

    Ryan also played this song “Dirty Rain”  for the ACL webpage not featured in the broadcast

    Ryan Adams setlist:
    “Stay With Me”
    “Let It Ride”
    “Do I Wait”
    “Dear Chicago”

    Ryan Adams and Jenny Lewis have become inextricably linked in the past year; Adams was heavily involved with Lewis’ recent great album “The Voyager”, they both have been deriving inspiration from Tom Petty, and lately they’ve been touring together and guesting on each other’s songs. They even played The Jimmy Kimmel show together! Now they’re also sharing an episode of Austin City Limits, which airs this weekend on PBS. Below, check out a preview of the episode, Adams performing the awesomely Jackson Browne-esque “Let It Ride” from Cold Roses.

    Here’s Adams’ ACL setlist:

    “Stay With Me” , “Let It Ride” , “Do I Wait” , “Dear Chicago” , “When Summer Ends”, “Shadows”.

    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.
