Stream: Ryan Adams - Jacksonville City Nights
Scenestars is streaming Ryan Adams & The Cardinals Jacksonville City Nights in its entirety here. Simply click on the picture of Rachel’s head and choose “radio.”
On first listen, it’s much more country than Cold Roses and is summed up by Rachel best when she says:
Because
this record can hardly be called anything less than straight-forward
country, I predict it will be hard for it to find a place on radio.
Country stations won’t play it because Adam’s lacks the country boy “Aw
Shucks, M’am” demeanor. He’s been very open about his drug use and has
a habit of falling off stages and canceling shows. Rock stations won’t
play this record, cause well, it isn’t rock. It’s sad that a country
album done so well will have such a hard time finding an audience
outside of Adam’s diehard fanbase.
Regardless of its commercial success, Ryan continues to exercise the artistic freedom allowed to him by Lost Highway with Jacksonville City Nights and fans of Heartbreaker and Cold Roses will surely be listening to this record for years to come.
Pre-order Jacksonville City Nights here.
