LP: Ryan Adams: Ashes & Fire (2011)

Ryan Adams udsender sit nye album på Sony Music (Columbia Records) d. 10. oktober.
”Ashes & Fire” blev indspillet i LA i Sunset Sound, Hollywood og er produceret af Glyn
Johns (kendt for sit arbejde med bl.a. The Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Clash, The Who og The
Rolling Stones).
På ”Ashes & Fire” gæster bl.a.: Benmont Tench (fra Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers) og
Norah Jones, der lægger vokal til flere sange, inkl. den akustiske ouverture af ”Come
Home”, balladen ”Save Me” og den hjertevarme ”Kindness”.
Mike Smith (Managing Director - Columbia Records) udtaler:
“Ever since I heard 'Dancing With The Woman At The Bar’ I have been in thrall to Ryan
Adams. Here was an artist who you could follow to the ends of the earth and yet be
continually surprised by. His solo career has generated so many joyous moments and
stone cold classic albums. When I joined Columbia Records back in 2006 I had this vision
of being able to attract the kind of classic singer-songwriters to the label that had been
such a vital part of the label’s history. Ryan to me is in the lineage of the very greatest
artists that have worked with Columbia and I am thrilled to be releasing what is
undeniably his finest album in ten years.”
