Ryan Adams - Less is More

For an artist who's been accused of being wildly inconsistent, Ryan Adams' last five albums have been unfailingly uniform. From "Love is Hell" through 2005's trilogy of country rock gems and now "Easy Tiger", Adams has adhered to acoustic arrangements, sad songs and some of the best songwriting of this century.

Dont pigeonhole me. Lyle Lovetts eleventh album "It's Not Big, It's Large" makes a vital point with it's title. This is not Big Band music - although the album does start with a Count Basie instrumental. This is a highly versatile band framing the music of one of Americas most original songwriters.
