Ryan Adams & The Cardinals — Cardinology

Part of the problem with Ryan Adams & The Cardinals' Cold Roses, as great as it was, was that it was two discs of music clocking in at more than 80 minutes.

Ryan Adams On Letterman

I promise this blog is not turning into the Ryan Adams Show. I'll have some more content up on here later today. Cardinology is one of my favourite albums of the year, though, and Adams is everywhere lately, and thus... a lot of blog content. Anyway, I'll change it up in a bit.
