Anxious is no where near a strong enough word to describe how I feel about the newest Ryan Adams and the Cardinals album that drops on the 28th.  I’ve suffered through countless tweets and waited patiently to listen and absorb his every emotion. I know even some of my closest musical confidantes can’t find who they are or where they stand in RA’s music, but when I think of Adams I think of it this way… if you’re going to be emotionally devastated do you want to feel numb or do you want to feel alive in your pain.  That’s Ryan Adams… sad, depressing, but still kicking, ready to stand up and take the next punch if it means feeling every moment. If you’re anything like me and can’t wait until it comes out a week from today, iLike will be streaming it in its entirety all day tomorrow.  I just hope somewhere buried in it are these words, “I will always love you. I will always love you. So go easy on yourself.”
