Ryan AdamsHeartbreaker (25th Anniversary Edition, Red Vinyl)

Twenty-five years on, Adams returns to his debut and sings it again from the other side of a life. These are re-recorded, stripped-back readings with strings drifting in, 'Come Pick Me Up' hitting differently now that the kiss-off is memory instead of wound. Not a replacement for the original, and not trying to be. A weathered second look at the songs that made him.
