Ryan Adams & The Cardinals performed “Come Pick Me Up” on the Late Show with David Letterman on November 4th. It’s an older song, but is on the OST from the new movie from Cameron Crowe Elizabethtown. The movie sucked, the song rocks. DL it by right clicking the post header.

Adams has a podcast and an official Myspace Profile

Adams’ third album this year is due for release on December 20th. it will be called 29 (I assume after the age he was when he recorded it) and here’s what he has to say about the record:

“That one’s really fucked up. It has nine songs, and all the songs are nine minutes long, they’re all story-songs. And it’s basically just me and a piano, me and a guitar, with [producer] Ethan [Johns]. It’s really cerebral. The theme of it was that I wanted to write a record where I could write myself out of my twenties. So for each year of my life, in my twenties, I kind of assigned different parts of my character, I gave them names. The last song is a song from the perspective, believe it or not, of a ghost. When it’s just passed out of a body, and it goes ‘Don’t go to the light/ I’ll show you how to haunt.’ This spirit is trying to conjure this dead child, this dead person, back to the house where they died. So they can haunt it. It’s really fucked up.”

Adams also has a few live dates on the horizon.

11-16 New York, NY - Beacon Theater

I had to take down the Catalog stream because you guys killed me in bandwith. I put Jacksonville City Nights back up in it’s place cause it’s so good you need to hear it.
