PopMatters on Ryan Adams Show – Salt Lake City, UT

PopMatters.com’s Evan Sawdey has a nice review of Ryan Adams and the Cardinals show at Salt Lake City, UT in support of Adam’s latest release Easy Tiger (Lost Highway.)

It appears that even a newly sober Adams is still establishing himself as the musical heir to Steve Earle and the attitudinal heir to Maria Carey.

There’s no earthly way of knowing / Which direction we are going

I never thought about it before, but once I got notice that Lost Highway was giving away two golden tickets in select copies of Ryan Adams new release Easy Tiger (6/25) in copies sold around the New York area (winners get to attend a concert the Ryan Adams show that night at the Hiro Ballroom) I now see the remarkable similarities between Willy Wonka and Ryan Adams.

No word yet on if the Oompa-Loompas will be opening the show.

New Yorkers try your luck at either Vintage Vinyl in Fords, NJ or Looney Tunes in West Babylon, Long Island.

Hey, you never know….
