Ryan Adams - Easy Tiger, Cardinology, Etc.

[BVS]

That's interesting, well it did seem this album has been the most promoted since maybe RNR...

[Bonochick]

The marketing has been pretty head spinning. There have been a lot of people buying multiple copies because of the freebies. Best Buy and Starbucks each had a different bonus track, and some indie stores had either a DVD or a lithograph, and some had both. There are also lots of people who snapped up the vinyl as well. If you pre-ordered from Ryan's site, you got stuff as well. Between all of that and the people who pre-ordered on iTunes to get THOSE bonuses (getting "Two" early and getting Ticketmaster pre-sale codes for fall shows), there are people who have bought the same album five or six times. I just got it at Best Buy. There are no indie stores by me anymore, and I think Starbucks was selling it for $6 more than at Best Buy. I prefer buying the physical CD to downloading, and I don't pre-order things I should have no trouble getting.

I bought a cd and vinyl from the indie store and got 2 dvds and 2 posters, which was nice. Also, I beat my boyfriend to it and bought him the cd.
So I guess I bought 3 copies of Easy Tiger...

For those who are disappointed on the first few listens, I strongly recommend you keep giving it more listens. I think this album is a real grower, and the songs are starting to emerge for me. Lots of beauty on this album, you just have to wait for it.

LIH is probably my fave, but Easy Tiger is more like a combo of Jacksonville and Cold Roses...

I find Cold Roses to have more songs that stick with me, personally my favourite album (i'll discount the, borrowed, elements ). I mean Sweet Illusions, When Will You Come Back Home, Friends etc. tip top stuff.

I have the Easy Tiger vinyl in the mail but i'm liking what I hear on my Mp3 player.

Oh CR is probably my 2nd fave, and you are right Ryan is one of the few artist that can get away with wearing his influences on his sleeve...

On the sleeve

Archive.org has some great concert recordings of his including those of the past couple weeks.

I haven't read this thread, but saw this link, and thought I'd post it here for RA fans. This is from Letterman:

The show in Charlottesville, VA got cancelled last night. Ryan's plane got stuck on the runway at LaGuardia. People didn't find out until they got to the venue.

Starr Hill: Ryan Adams & The Cardinals


This show was postponed due to a weather-related travel delay that prevented Ryan Adams from coming to Charlottesville.

The show will be rescheduled.

Starr Hill Presents will announce a new date announced soon, and that information will be posted on this page.

All existing tickets for this performance will be valid for the new date.

Starr Hill Presents and The Paramount apologize for this unforseen inconvenience to ticketholders.

Storm postpones Ryan Adams show

A storm along the east coast kept Charlottesvillians from seeing Ryan Adams at the Paramount Theater yesterday evening. According to promoter Starr Hill Presents, the weather grounded Adams’ flight from LaGuardia Airport on the tarmac for over five hours and the singer-songwriter didn’t get off the ground until 9pm, landing at Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport at around 10:30pm– three hours after his management and Starr Hill had called off the show.


“We didn’t think it was fair to keep everyone waiting when we didn’t know if he was going to make it,” says Starr Hill’s Kirby Hutto.

The Paramount has already announced plans to reschedule the show, and Hutto says he hopes to announce the new date later today, which he says will likely be in September. All tickets sold to last night’s show will be honored, and those fans who will be unable to attend the rescheduled concert can receive refunds.

The Paramount gig was to have been Adams’ first after a 10-day break from the road, and the alt-country star was set to touch down in Charlottesville Monday night, along with his road crew and his touring band the Cardinals, who arrived by bus. However, Adams’ travel plans changed when a meeting with members of the New York media got moved to Tuesday morning, putting him at the mercy of the Federal Aviation Administration and unrelenting winds.

“In hindsight, we should have driven him down in a limo,” says Hutto. “It would have gotten him here in the time he spent on the runway.”

Until recently, Adams had a history of cutting shows short or skipping them completely, which he has recently admitted was due in part to addictions to cocaine and heroin. The most infamous of these instances was a 2002 show in Nashville when Adams left the stage and refused to return after a fan shouted out a request for “Summer of ‘69,” a song made famous by Canadian pop-rocker Bryan Adams. Hutto dismisses any idea that the Charlottesville postponement is a sign that Adams has backslid.

“He’s not drinking; he’s not into drugs; his sobriety is still good,” he says. “This was all out of his control.”

Tonight, Adams is scheduled to play in Louisville, Kentucky, where officials at the Brown Theatre report the show is still a go.

Any word on when we'll get a tour proper? That whole iTunes/ticketmaster thing has to come to fruition sometime.

[elevation2u]

there wasn't any presale for the LA show, luckily
since I never bought the itunes version

The show is next Thursday, can't wait

[Bonochick]

For the iTunes pre-order, people were supposed to get their pre-sale codes from Ticketmaster back on the 9th, but it doesn't sound like people have.
