My Morning Jacket Continued / Ryan Adams Concert
Ok, as I promised I have purchased several more of MMJ releases.
It Still Moves
At Dawn
The Tennessee Fire
Z
Honestly, the only one I have seriously sat down to listen to was Z. Which I love. Just a fantastic release. The other three I have listened to a few times, but I cannot tell them much apart at this time. It is sort of like old R.E.M. All the tunes sound the same, and sound very organic. Not that that is a bad thing! But it seems that the last two releases from the band (Evil Urges, Z) are going to be my favorites. I enjoy the bit of funk they have injected lately as opposed the the creepy sleepiness of the first releases. Not that all the tunes are like that, but there are no stand out songs like Dondante on the first three releases I bought. To be fair, I have not listened to those as much, I've needed some upbeat tunes thanks to the hellish tone at work, but they are nice to relax to on the weekend.
Moving on - Got to see Ryan Adams for the first time when he came to town Oct 3rd. He played a really cool old theater downtown that I had never been to. The hubby and I really enjoyed the venue, and had great balcony seats! Ryan was just what I imagined him to be - energetic, funny, and an all out rocker. An American treasure for sure. The crowd was much more DeadHeadish than I expected. Even got a compliment on my Dead hat. Sure miss those Dead days. My husband probably only recognized two songs he played (and one doesn't count since it was Oasis' Wonderwall - which ROCKED better than Oasis ever did it) but still had a good time. SO he says! I know I did :)
