Ryan Adams Self Portrait
This is only for the real fans, 24 songs!! A lot to digest. This one especially but also
generally feel with his recent albums they feel more like a compilation of just everything
he's recording and putting out almost like an anthology. This one is a pretty stripped back
acoustic type fair for the most part, and it definitely has some good tunes, I love 'I Am A
Rollercoaster', 'Too Old to Die Young' and 'Saturday Night Forever'. Theres a few more decent
ones but then quite a few take it or leave it types. Some cool covers of REM songs x 2 and a
New Order cover as well!

They seem to be going for easy going fun type tunes, and thats all good, but i think they shine more when they do more serious type tunes with more conviction to them? Or maybe these songs just
