Few artists come with as much baggage as Ryan Adams. Despite being “cancelled” after a New York Times exposè in 2019, the acclaimed singer/songwriter stumbles on…his recent blow-up at a concert in Melbourne setting the stage for this, the last show of a tour that may be his last ever…internationally.
For some reason, I only seem to interact with Ryan Adams’ music once every four-to-five years. And yet, I’ve been consistently enamoured with it, never hearing a track I didn’t like.
Adams' latest tour has been a solo venture no backing musicians, no openers. I'd imagine those were choices made to uncomplicate matters and let the songs stand on their own merits.
