The Dark Half

Hey, Stephen King and I have the same taste in Ryan Adams albums, but he’s a much better writer:

I think there are really only two kinds of pop music CDs these days. There are the ones you listen to only once or twice, maybe downloading the single good song to your iPod or computer; then there are others that grow stronger, sweeter, and more necessary each time you play them. Gold was that way; Cold Roses was that way; so was Jacksonville City Nights. I won't say Adams is the best North American singer-songwriter since Neil Young...but I won't say he isn't, either.


He liked Easy Tiger a lot, so maybe I’ll try to spend some more time with it.
