Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Arguably the most eclectically prolific artist since Prince, Ryan Adams continues his chameleon revivalism with his most straightforward country music to date. Having evoked the inspiration of bands ranging from T. Rex to the Grateful Dead on previous solo releases, the former Whiskeytown frontman here channels the likes of Faron Young on "My Heart Is Broken," while framing the shot-and-a-beer opener, "A Kiss Before I Go," with honky-tonk piano and pedal steel. "Seems like I'm always movin'," he sings amid the rockabilly kick of "Trains," as the album finds his restless muse ranging from a dreamy duet with Norah Jones on "Dear John" to naked vulnerability reminiscent of John Lennon on "Silver Bullets." Only Adams would cut a track titled "The End" and sequence it second on the CD, or a song called "Peaceful Valley" and inject it with so much emotion. --Don McLeese

Review

"Dear John" a desolate duet with Norah Jones, is one of the best things either singer has recorded. -- New York Times - 9/27/05

A blurry snapshot of a time and a place taken by an artist with a severe eye for detail. -- Details Magazine

If Adams can keep the quality of his releases at this level, he should put out three again next year. -- Salt Lake City Tribune ** B+ ** 9/27/05

If JCN is any indication of where he's headed, we could be on the cusp of his best one yet. -- RollingStone.com - 3 1/2 Stars

Ryan Adams reveals a previously well hidden grace and maturity on his new album. -- New York Magazine -

The more prolific Ryan Adams becomes, the smarter he gets. Bottom line: Mr. Adams' twang has never been tighter. -- Dallas Morning News ** A ** 9/27/05

Gets better with every listen....

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2006

Verified Purchase

For me to rate this album 5 stars is saying something because I'm not a huge country fan. Like many other reviewers, it took a few listens for this album to grow on me, but at this point it gets a regular rotation in my playlist.

It's funny to read other reviews that bash his prolific nature with comments such as "rather than putting out 3 good albums, why not put out 1 amazing album?" That's a fair question I suppose, but as a huge fan of Ryan Adams I'll take anything he's willing to give us. Besides, in today's era musicians are too sheltered and afraid to make mistakes. Everything is so overproduced these days. Look back to the early years of Elton John - he put out 4 amazing albums that are some of the best rock-n-roll has ever seen, and he did it in the span of two years! Ryan is a throwback artist, worthy of comparison to the all-time greats. Is it just me, or can anyone else picture him on stage (blending in just fine, not missing a beat) with The Band?

As for the heavy influence of Country on this album, I think the reason he's taken this route is that he's simply telling quirky stories with each song that don't necessarily rely on repetitive choruses. What better medium to do that than in a country song with simple cords and pedal steel wailing in the background?

One last comment - for those purists out there who might complain his voice isn't "clean" enough, I think you're right. His voice is rough around the edges and crackles in and out of tune on occassion, but who cares? He still comes across as being honest and heartfelt, and to me that's his most endearing quality.

Rock on.

Another Great Ryan Adams Album in a Career Full of Great Albums

Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2021

Verified Purchase

In my opinion, Ryan Adams hasn't really released a bad album (well, maybe 29), and this one is no exception. Though for some reason JCN and Prisoner took a while and several listens to grow on me, but once they did, they have both been on my turntable constantly. As always, the quality of Ryan Adams vinyl pressings are EXCELLENT (high quality gatefold jacket, 180 gram double vinyl, polyvinyl lined sleeves) if you are a fan of Ryan Adams, this one is much more rooted in country music than most of his other albums but feature some great tracks including The Hardest Part, which is one of his strongest songs.

Another Home Run From Ryan and the Cardinals

Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2005

Verified Purchase

If Adams's third album this year is as good as the first two, he's walking away with MVP honors.

Cold Roses saw Adams and the Cardinals assaying the folk rock of the American Beauty-era Grateful Dead. This album, recorded at the same time, falls more aquarely into the country-rock vein, and Whiskeytown fans will probably hear this as the Ryan Adams album they've been waiting for. After his hand injury took him off the map a year, Adams has been a different artist-- less erratic, more interested in subverting his ego to a band, and more willing to revisit and re-interpret his older songs live (as opposed to rendering them rote). The Cardinals are the ideal band for this new Ryan Adams, and together they've made their second great album in a row. Jon Graboff's pedal steel gives the album much of its twangy country feel, and Catherine Popper on bass is the modern man's rock crush. J.P. Bowerstock plays economical, lilting, ringing lines on guitar that always serve the song. Adams remains one of the most prolific and heartfelt songwriters of his generation.

Jacksonville City Nights has the instant feel of familiarity that often accompanies great records. It will sound like an old friend half way into "A Kiss Before I Go."

Vinyl pressings are totally messed up

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2016

Verified Purchase

The 5 stars is for the music. Ryan is one of the most amazing artists of out time. If you don't like him listen ten more times...everybody I know that's done that has fallen in love with his music. It's not always immediately accessible. I swear he is operating on a higher plane that takes me a while to figure out.

The vinyl on the other hand. The first one was messed up. Side A was really side C, B was B, C was C and D was D. So I sent it back. Today I got my replacement. Side A is side C, B is D, C is A and D is B. If you're still reading you'll see I got the whole album this time so I guess I'm happy. I tried to e-mail Universal (owner of Lost Highway Records)...yeah, they don't take e-mails. Probably because they don't care.

Ryan...glad you own your own label nowadays!

Define "Alt Country"

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2007

Verified Purchase

First of all, I would go three and a half stars on this one but Amazon only allows whole numbers. I'm giving Ryan Adams the benefit of the doubt and rounding up.

This is by far the most country album he's put out since leaving Whiskeytown. Now, I'm not the biggest fan of country music but this doesn't sound like any other country music out there. What I can't stand is the country-pop-flagwaving-prothisprothat kind of crap out there now. I like real country. Real country is Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Hank Williams, etc. I guess it could be called "old" country. That's this album sounds like. Ryan's country stuff has been labeled "Alt Country." I'm not sure what the heck "Alt Country" is but if this is it then it sounds like REAL country. If you're a Rock fan you probably won't like this album. If you're a country-pop fan you might like this album. If you're a real Ryan Adams fan you'll probably like this album. If you're fan of good old fashioned country you'll definately like this album. Tracks 1, 4, 9, & 10 are probably the standouts on this album. It's not a must have but if you're in the mood, it delivers.

LOVE THIS COUNTRY-ROCK JEWEL !!!

Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2016

Verified Purchase

I love this record SO much ; it is my favorite Ryan made , my second favorite being "STRANGER'S ALMANAC" by his ex-band Whiskeytown . The album is to me his most country one yet & is impeccably written , recorded & produced . He has many records which are quite good of many styles which I like but this one is dripping in steel guitar and angst . Standout tracks imho are : "My Heart Is Broken" , "A Kiss Before I Go" and "The Hardest Part" though there's not a bad song on here . Ryan really delivers a Southern vibe on this jewel of an album . In fact the sonics of the mix are SO good I used it to EQ my recently purchased stereo amplifier . This one I would recommend to anyone who likes Ryan Adams or Country-Rock Music as it should be done . - Hardie McGehee - artist / writer

Ive always loved this album from the first listen.It nestles nicely between Cold Roses,Strangers Almanac and Gold.
This album is a very laid back countryfied album,graced with some great songs.Superbly backed by The Cardinals.
For some this album might require a few listens,but once it gets under the skin you will,im sure,love it.
Song highlights are A Kiss Before I Go,The End,Dear John(great harmonies)Withering Heights,Trains,Silver Bullets and The Hardezt Part.
The vinyl,which i have,also incl the cd bonus tracks on Side 4(the album is a ďoubler),which incl the fantastic cover of Always On My Mind(yes,that one).
Certainly a 5 star album in my book,so give it a go,be patient,and be pleasantly surprised.

(Cowboy-)Hut ab!

Reviewed in Germany on October 7, 2005

Inzwischen führt das Erscheinen eines neuen Albums von RA bei mir zu einem bedingten Reflex: Ich kaufe, obwohl ich genau weiß, dass auch der kreativste Kopf mal daneben greift (siehe „Rock'n'Roll"). Doch hier enttäuscht er mich nicht. Adams liefert hier erneut ein dichtes, intensives Werk ab. Der Musiker begibt sich in seine Heimatstadt und richtet seinen verkaterten Blick hinaus in die weite, zwischen Baumwollfeldern und Nachtclubs gelegene, Welt. Dass Frauen hier eine große Rolle spielen, versteht sich von selbst. Manch anderem würde man für soviel Selbstmitleid und Weltschmerz eine gehörige Watschen geben: Adams aber schafft erneut den Spagat zwischen Sentimentalität und vorsichtigem Optimismus, es geht immer irgendwie weiter.
Schon die ersten Takte des Albums machen klar, wohin es diesmal geht: Akustische Gitarre, schepperndes Schlagzeug, dumpf grollender Kontrabass, ab und zu eine Violine und Piano und Pedal-Steel bestimmen. Oft baut sich schon vor den ersten Tönen eine dichte Studioatmosphäre auf, ein Pluspunkt für die Produktion. „Jacksonville City Nights" ist vielleicht Adams ursprünglichstes Album seit „Heartbreaker". Er zeigt hier sein Gespür für die kleinen Risse in der vordergründigen Harmonie, für die überraschende Wendung und die unerwartete Melodiefolge. Dies macht dieses Album für mich so besonders. Einer der Höhepunkte des Albums ist sicher die träge Ballade „Dear John", bei der eine gewisse Nora Jones Piano und Background Vocals übernimmt.
Ich gebe allerdings zu, dass man dieses Album nicht mögen muss. Wer eine Allergie gegen Country-Musik hat und wem sich bei einer Pedal-Steel-Guitar die Fußnägel aufrollen, der sollte die Finger von dieser Platte lassen. Ich aber ziehe meinen (Cowboy-) Hut vor soviel Kreativität!
