Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: With a touch of Robyn Hitchcock in his vocal timbre, a smidgen of Steve Earle in his narratives and instrumental writing and a heap of Gram Parsons in the fullness of his overall sound and structure, Ryan Adams steps well above Whiskeytown with Heartbreaker, his solo debut. By turns raucous, wistful, raspy and simply sweet, Adams makes the most of a top-shelf acoustic band, including Gillian Welch and David Rawlings and even a guest spot from Emmylou Harris on the tenderly yearning "Oh My Sweet Caroline". There is little dependence on the usual alt-country twang and a far more rounded sense of textures here (the multiple vocal tracks on "Amy", for example, sound Beatles-esque), with glockenspiel, organ and more signalling a sonic field of extensive depth. His spare guitar and stretched-thin vocal delivery alternate smartly with a bigger-shouldered guitar and throaty voice, never leaving behind a band conception straight out of Parsons's oeuvre. Adams signals occupancy of the post-alt country vanguard--if there is such a thing. --Andy Bartlett Customer Reviews

 Rating: - Good startFor me, this is ryan's 3rd best album (after gold and easy tiger) yet i still give it 5 stars, that pretty much says it all (I'm going to keep writing anyway). For me this was the starting point of better things to come, it is in itself a very good album with songs like 'oh my sweet carolina' and 'come pick me up' being personal highlights, it was a very good debut solo album and probably only comes behind the other two albums mentioned because it is maybe a little harder to get into. I still listen to this album a lot and is very much a must own for any fan of Mr Adams, although with the amount of work this guy releases i understand it can be hard to keep up! Rating: - Great songsThis, along with 'Gold' and Demolition' are my favorite Ryan Adams albums. Mellow. Sweet. Spare. Great lyrics. I can only repeat what is written in the other positive reviews He is just so talented. This is a subtle work of near genius and deserves attention. Favorite tracks are My Winding wheel; Amy; Oh my sweet Carolina and Damn Sam. Rating: - This is My Winding WheelFirst of all, this guy is a living genius. For this guy it really is about the music. A modern day Bob Dylan or Johnny Cash. Not necessarily in musical style but in pure creativity and attitude. They say they don't make 'em like they used to but here is the real deal. Everything he has done is gold dust (Even Rock N Roll). It is only a matter of time, say 20 to 30 years, before the world realises this. This was the second album that I heard of his. Must have been about 5 years ago now. I remember going out and buying it after having and loving Gold. Coming back to my room. Sitting dead still rooted to my bed, looking out of the rain spattered window, shivers down my spine for about a whole hour immersed in this wonderful world of ... Read More: Rating: - Yes it was Viva Hate Ryan!!Ryan Adams (born David Ryan Adams on November 5, 1974) is an alt-country and rock and roll singer/songwriter from Jacksonville, North Carolina. Adams dropped out of high school at 16 to work in a shoe shop and make music. He formed a band named Whiskeytown in 1994; they disbanded in 1999 after making three albums. Adams went on to put out his first solo record, Heartbreaker. So whats it like? Look I don’t want to just sell you another album so if you are looking for an artist to say if people ask you “hey man whos your favourite?” then this isnt for you! I can honestly say with my hand on my heart that apart from Morriessey and ofcousre the Smiths and maybe Jeff Bukely, Ryan Adams changed my like. Heartbreaker wasn’t ... Read More: Rating:  - nice and gentleHis solo debut record 'Heartbreaker' is a nice, gentle record in a country pop style with very well vocal work from Ryan Adams. The record begins with a couple of strong songs: The cheerful en well sung 'To be young' with its change of electric and acoustic guitar, and the acoustic, backed by very nice shuffle drums 'My winding wheel' with its delicated sounded short solo. 'Amy' and 'Oh, my sweet Carolina' two lovely country pop song. Gradually the songs become slow, easy listening songs. It's very nice to listen, but in the middle part of the record you slowly loose attention: the songs are starting to sound like each other. You won't notice if a next song has started. A few of the songs could have But before you've lost your attention, suddenly ... Read More: |
