Random Thoughts from a Ryan Adams Marathon: Day 4

* Monday Night is a really neat song. Doesn't fit on any album, admittedly.

* Lovesick Blues doesn't do much for me at all.

* In My Time of Need is quite a nice chill out track. Again, can see why it didn't make the cut for any other album.

* 48 Hours is basically the best album Ryan Adams has done but not released. Flawless. Karina easily makes my top 5 Ryan Adams songs.

* Cowboy Technical Sessions is some interesting acoustic tracks. Followed by some random made screaming.

* The Pinkheart Session part 2 is probably cooler than part 1. Mainly because this version of Candy Doll has a rockin' saxophone solo - something missing from music these days. Remember when awesome 50s and 80s stuff all had saxophone? I should start a band and get someone in on saxophone...

* The Stockholm Sessions are actually some very solid songs. Totally raw, but man...

* The Finger: We Are Fuck You is an hilarious antedote to the musings of the previous album. Not RA's best punk work by a long shot, but that is mainly due to the singer having a voice I don't particularly dig.

* Demolition is a testament to how foolish Lost Highway were. Don't get me wrong, the songs on here are fantastic, but being such a clash of styles just makes it sound like a bunch of demos and such. I would have rather had 48 Hours, The Suicide Handbook, etc instead.

441 songs down.
