Well written review (so rare these days). If you follow the link to his web site and click on news, you'll read that Ryan Adams had a skateboarding accident earlier that week and couldn't play guitar - thus the bandaged hand and odder-than-usual performance.

Thanks! That's sort of how I felt about it--he pours all his energies into his songwriting and singing, doesn't have much left over to be an entertainer. But then, there's a guy like Martin Sexton, who had some *awesome* songs, and was just so engaging. The bad boy routine can wear thin after a while, you know? So I'm curious to see where RA ends up.

Good review! Sounds kinda like a nut job - but the best musicians usually are!?
