Never seen the hip but the singer of my first band was huge into them. I think I may try to make it to one of their shows.

If you want an album that kind of encapsulates everything they are, I think World Container is the one you want.

It has none of their (american) hits, but it's all around pretty much what they represent to me.

I'll have to check it out. I never liked Downey's vocals but I liked the music a lot and I hear their live shows are really good.

Roc is using the term "hit" rather loosely here since their top performing album peaked at 129th on the US Chart. To be fair though they did have 3 singles break the top 40 in 30 years. Over the same time period there was another Canadian band that had 6 top 10 albums, 7 top 10 singles and 11 top 40 singles. But Roc doesn't like them.

I love you too. I actually bought one of their albums back in the 90s after someone recommended them to me based on my love of Squeeze. Whichever album I bought I didn't care for much, but I just went and listened to "In View" off the album you recommended and can see where someone could tie them to Squeeze.

Nice to see he's embraced the confusion or sheer drunkenness of his fans. He didn't used to be that cool about it.

Ryan Adams does seem like a tool but man can that guy write a tune and a lyric.

It's always the guys I doubt I'd get along with that end up writing shit that is artistically pleasing to me. Billy Corgan is another example.

there is a great story about him coming unglued in East Lansing..

(it was actually at Mac's Bar but, for whatever reason, it gets referred to as the "East Lansing incident")

by **Robert J Sakimano** 2016-05-24, 14:03

this is a pretty well written book, by the way..

Ryan Adams - Losering: A Story of Whiskeytown

Even before he was big in Raleigh, Adams had star quality, self absorption and knack for ruining an evening that made him hard to turn away from and difficult to deal with. Add a bit of fame and the right drugs and he was off the chart.

Like June 1997 in East Lansing, Michigan, hometown of then manager Jenni Sperandeo, when Adams decided to throw a hissy fit, ostensibly to protest some bar patrons paying too much attention to sports on television. By the time the night is over, he's on top of the Whiskeytown van throwing cans of beer and being pelted by tomatoes. Sperandeo says Adams threw the show on purpose. "'Somewhere I have pictures from before the show. It was one of those excessive eyeliner nights for Ryan, who was completely wasted.'"

Was he doing heroin even in the 90s? I thought that wasn't something he got into until the 2000's.

Who wasn't doing heroin in the 90s? Well except for those that were already dead from doing heroin in the 80s. And the 70s.

I don't recall the timeline but he was in pretty rough shape.

the good news is that he not only cleaned up his own act, but he also played an integral role in helping Jason Isbell clean up, too.

by **xsanguine** 2016-05-24, 15:04

I keep hearing about Jason Isbell but have never checked him out. I'm stubborn when new artists are recommended. Took me 10 years to finally listen to Ryan Adams.

one of my favorites, for sure. A bit more country-ish (which is fine with me).. last two records have had a bit of an acoustic, downbeat feel to them but the songwriting is about as fine as it gets.

the Truckers were definitely at their best with the three guitar/songwriting attack of Cooley, Hood and Isbell.
