It’s been three years since we’ve seen any new material from Ryan Adams.  That’s an insane drought from a guy that released a five new albums a year for most of the decade.  Sure, there was Orion (get it?  O Ryan)…but does that really count?  Then there was the Pax-AM single series…but then again…I don’t even know anyone who was lucky enough to score a copy of any of the singles.  And, even now, the new Ryan Adams & the Cardinals album, III/IV is really just a bunch of leftover tracks.  Leftover Ryan Adams is like leftover pizza…at worst…it’s still pizza.
