Release Notes:
Having failed to die young, disappear at sea or get
his body stolen and burned in the Mojave Desert,
Ryan Adams had no choice but to make a professional
country-rock album. Easy Tiger is Adams at his most
consistent and measured, as slick and slow as an
old Bread record, even in wasted laments like
"Tears of Gold" and "I Taught Myself How to Grow
Old." Since he's built his reputation on wild
inconsistency, allowing himself inspired whims like
Cold Roses, this is a strangely atypical Adams
record, just because it's his first typical one.
For the only time since Gold, he wants you to
notice how hard he worked pulling it all together.
The set list feels winnowed down û "Off Broadway"
goes back nearly six years. Some of the
arrangements could have been even more winnowed
down (he tends to equate somber piano with deep
feeling). "Two" is a maudlin Sheryl Crow duet (at
least it's not Norah Jones again). "Everybody
Knows," "These Girls" and "Off Broadway" define his
ballad style, but Easy Tiger is actually best when
it rocks out, as in "Goodnight Rose" (a Cold
Roses-style Dead takeoff) or the garage-rock goof
"Halloweenhead."
