It's weird...#7 Ryan Adams- Love is Hell (2004)<br /><br />It's weird, because this was not my first RA record, but one that was given to me as a- check this out, this is more of his stuff- kind of thing, and I couldn't stop listening. Like I said in my other comment, you can feel his pain on this record, it's palpable. <br /><br />A friend of mine tells me the story about how he was working at the studio in New Orleans where this record was recording and he helped with the engineering. He said he was on the other side of the soundwall when he was recording "Wonderwall". He told me that he was so intense in the studio & then would just go out and get completely blown out of his mind. That pain of being lost is so evident in this album. I guess I can relate to that on some level. <br />"She comes apart in the avalanche<br />Fades out like a dance<br />Crawls back into bed<br />When it's over"<br /><br />But the songs themselves feel like they are reaching out for you & they need a damn hug. I've heard "I See Monsters" live a couple of times, and it was amazing. <br /><br />This record is not for the lighthearted and it's a long ways from where he is as an artist now, but I still think it's some of his best work.Kelly Goddardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597740535792451143.post-8102342335261706712009-12-09T16:54:44.247-05:002009-12-09T16:54:44.247-05:00Woah, this blog needs an editor!

Thanks for the heads up. <br /><br />"She is a master of singing in a style that lets you know that she is not just making up stories, but she has lived these songs"<br /><br />That is dead on, Brian says no one can sing a city name like Lucinda.. she can walk you through a place you've never been simply by the way she sings..Ole5anddimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05906127421542680610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597740535792451143.post-26824978782091037052009-12-09T16:04:34.437-05:002009-12-09T16:04:34.437-05:00This album is simply gorgeous.
Like you, I was ...This album is simply gorgeous. <br /><br />Like you, I was new to Lucinda, and in fact, I got this one and Car Wheels at about the same time. I even saw her on tour for this album with your brother! I'm going out on a limb here, but I may like Essence better. I love how she makes her borderline obsessiveness seem so accessible, and shows the listener how everyone of us has this capacity inside. Some call it a sickness, others just call it a symptom of love. She is a master of singing in a style that lets you know that she is not just making up stories, but she has lived these songs, that these are her experiences. Like you said, something special comes out when she opens her mouth to sing.<br /><br />I'm wondering if it was just an oversight or did you leave out "Get Right With God" from your tracklist on purpose?<br /><br />This one will be on my list.jauzinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02101986490520049682noreply@blogger.com
