As previously reported, Ryan Adams returns on October 10 with brand new solo record Ashes & Fire. Here’s the first taster, a mid-tempo country tinged gem harking back to the golden era of Whiskeytown and Heartbreaker. A sign of things to come? We have an inkling that yes, this could be the long awaited return to form of Mr Adams. Looks like marrying Mandy Moore did him some good – who said being in Love Is (always) Hell?
