2011-06-13 Konserthuset, Malmo, Sweden

I ”If I Am a Stranger” sjunger han så håren reser sig på armarna och han lyfter generöst fram fina och mer oväntade kompositioner som ”I Taught Myself To Grow Old” och Bob Dylan-pastischen ”English Girls Approximately”. Personalen på Konserthuset hade förresten släpat in ett piano på scenen men under den två timmar långa spelningen använde Adams det bara vid ett enda tillfälle. Ett utslag av otacksamhet? Nej, snarare ett resultat av artistisk självkännedom, för den på skiva så ledigt svängiga ”New York, New York” visade sig fungera ganska dåligt som skrangligt pianonummer.

Den über-professionelle scenesnak er i hvert fald ikke Adams’ stærkeste kort, og han snakker mere eller mindre sort, mens han fumler med sit nodehæfte. Sikkert en forsvarsmekanisme mod den lidt uvante højtidelige stemning, der automatisk opstår i den finkulturelle højborg, men på grund af stedets opbygning virker det mere akavet end afvæbnende. Man tager sig selv i at ønske, at han ville tage en dyb indånding og gøre, hvad han gør bedst. For han kan som ingen anden kondensere hjertesorg ned i tre akkorder og en whiskeymarineret melodi, som han illustrerer med både ‘This House Is Not for Sale’ og ‘Everybody Knows’.

I feel like using my blockbuster movie announcer voice to say, “If you download ONE Ryan Adams show this year, MAKE IT THIS ONE.” Holy shit, so good.

2011-11-08 Konserthuset, Gothenburg, Sweden

Adams växlar mellan två akustiska gitarrer eller spelar piano med ryggen mot publiken. – Jag måste sitta så här eftersom vi inte hittade ett osynligt piano, förklarar han. Det är så tyst i lokalen att en kvävd harkling blir en nyårsraket som exploderar uppe i taket. I den avskalade miljön träder sångaren Ryan Adams fram. Rösten är fortfarande 2000-talets absolut vackraste instrument. Och melodierna ... fuckin awesome. Det är två och en halv timme av extremt lågmäld country noir. Jag har nog aldrig hört lika långsamma och sköra versioner av ”Let it ride” och ”Oh my sweet Carolina” och ”La Cienega just smiled”. Och mellan de allvarliga låtarna levererar Ryan Adams en helt annan föreställning.

Ryan Adams lyckas med något som få andra klarar. Han behåller vår koncentration i över två timmar, ensam på scenen. Dessutom med ett sävligt tempo där han till och med tillåter sig att stretcha mellan låtarna samtidigt som han ber oss vara tysta för att inte ”väcka mitt sovande arsle”. Det är en mycket Ryan Adamsk kväll. Han är som ingen annan och när han dessutom kan bjuda på sin begåvning utan distraktioner, rus och dåligt humör blir alltihop ändå inte alls välkammat. Bara väldigt, väldigt fint.

Several concert reviews of a younger, druggier Ryan Adams describe him as being a dick. But I’ll bet he was a funny dick.

Rarely do you get to hear a singer-songwriter this purely within a space holding a few thousand people. His faint sonic aim leaves him sounding just as I've imagined Simon & Garfunkel must have come across back in the '60s – barely amplified, their voices heard as much naturally, hanging in the air untreated, as through microphones.

2012-02-17 Walt Disney Concert Hall, Los Angeles, California, USA

Whether singing in the lovely "Invisible Riverside," "I wanna lay my head forever on your shoulder," or acknowledging that "I'm fractured from the fall and I wanna go home" in "Two," Adams delivered his emotions in a way that deftly walked the line that separates universal truth and cliche, seldom lapsing into a predictable path while implicitly acknowledging that even though all stories have been told before, that doesn't mean they've been told by someone like him.

Adams makes fun of himself and his music for being so sad, but I left downtown Friday glad to have spent the evening listening to his work, and glad we can call him one of our city’s own.

2012-02-18 Walt Disney Concert Hall, Los Angeles, California, USA

Ryan Adams's voice sounds sweet, clear, simply beautiful. You hear it all, his hands on the wood of the guitar, on the strings, every chord, every whisper, every breath. I have attended many concerts at the Royal Theatre in Madrid, and many concert halls and venues of all genders and classes, but I never had the opportunity to appreciate the purity in the sound of a simple instrument as an acoustic guitar and the voice of a singer who performs his music with the simplicity of an innate gift.

2012-03-06 Regent Theatre, Dunedin, New Zealand

Upon taking the stage at the Regent Theatre, Ryan Adams thanked the audience. “I’m excited to share my feelings with you,” he revealed. And share his feelings he did – starting with a slow, gentle rendition of “Oh My Sweet Carolina” from 2000’s classic Heartbreaker, before taking us on a lengthy amble through his extensive back catalogue. There was the expected emphasis on songs from last year’s Ashes & Fire, but with a generous helping of older material, including a version of “16 Days”, from his former band Whiskeytown.

2012-03-06 Regent Theatre, Dunedin, New Zealand

I was skeptical about the idea of Ryan Adams solo, as I’ve always enjoyed the more dynamic Cardinals albums the most. In reality the stripped back simplicity opened up some beautiful space in the songs, and allowed for the words (which are the essence of his style) to have the power they warranted.

2012-05-07 Falconer Salen, Copenhagen, Denmark

Mutters alene på den store scene i Falconer Salen formåede Ryan mandag aften, på bemærkelsesværdig vis, at gemme sig bag sin mundharmonika og sit pjuskede pandehår den første halve time. I noget der mindede om en rus af manisk generthed, blev de første numre nærmest skudt af, uden at publikum blev lukket ind i hans – skulle det vise sig – sprudlende og snørklede univers.

He found his way into the spotlight in a band called Whiskeytown, and in the decade since he struck out on his own, he's made 13 albums, mining rock, country, punk, and more besides. His latest record is "Ashes & Fire" and it's one of his best. A beautiful, plaintive, expansive album that he says is "obsessed with time".
