Reviews

Columbus Dispatch
Adams, who has integrated country and folk into his ambitious catalogue of songs, is fundamentally a rocker, a guy who sounds like Tom Petty mostly because he loves his guitar, a clever lyric turn, and a hook more than a radio hit. “New York, New York” sported chattering, Woody Guthrie-complimenting couplets, carried by the priceless groove of drummer Frederik Bokkenheuser, who suggested Levon Helm with his small kit and deceptively simple but rock-steady beat. Adams performed in an Ozzy Osbourne t-shirt before a backdrop featuring a punching, rose-crowned kitty in a circular logo whose graphics poked at the Grateful Dead. [full review here]

The Lantern
Ryan Adams and his band The Shining were the penultimate performers. Opening the set with a rocked-out version of “Gimme Something Good,” they pulled the audience in and didn’t let go for the next hour. Managing to work in some banter with the crowd and even making up a song on-the-spot called “Cotton Candy” at the suggestion of someone in the crowd, Adams was an entertaining force of rock and roll.

Columbus Alive
Between songs, Adams joked about the relatively tight hour-long set time (“I can’t do my dance routine … or the thing where I levitate,” he cracked), introduced the downcast soundtrack like an upbeat hype man (“If you like sad songs let me hear you say, ‘Hell yeah!’”) and poked fun at his past struggles with substance abuse. “I know that I’ve forgotten a lot of my life, and I paid a lot of money to do that,” he explained after one fan requested a non-existent song. “But I do know I didn’t write a song called ‘Cotton Candy.’” Of course, the musician followed by adlibbing a metal-tinged cut with precisely that name.
