Ryan Adams: Ashes & Fire

NPR's First Listen happens to be quite the source for hearing albums before they're released. It has been the reason for my excessive playing of a new album, Ashes & Fire, by a most beloved singer-songwriter/musician - Ryan Adams.

Despite the wide range of sounds he has proven to be capable of pulling off, Ashes & Fire maintains an element that I find to be true to vintage Adams, beautiful, lyrically poetic and thought-provoking.

Since its release last week, the "first listen" is no longer available, so here's a video of one track to try to encourage you to check out the full album...

I was pretty excited when I saw his new album was on NPR. Enjoyed it while it lasted. Now I just need to get over to iTunes...

I find that I am drawn to ideas. Whether they are brilliant, simple, or aesthetically beautiful (to my eyes), they tend to be other people’s ideas. I have much respect for people who have the vulnerability to bring their ideas to life. My first internal reaction is often envy, but then it becomes gratitude – and gratefulness for a creator that enables people to bring to life the ideas that He gives them. Occasionally though, one of those ideas is my own. They don’t come often, but when they do, no matter how small or insignificant they may be, I am humbled and inspired. This is a place for me to exhibit those ideas, mostly others – sometimes my own.
