Group Work

As it turns out, the next Ryan Adams album won't be a "Ryan Adams" album at all. The "fabulous one," as he's been called by Elton John, is giving his longstanding backing band full credit on the new record. No "Ryan Adams," no "Ryan Adams & The Cardinals" -- just "The Cardinals" here. The album is tentatively called Cardinology and is due out in just over a month -- October 27th to be precise. Critics have knocked Adams for his prolific ways, often citing than the man focuses too much on quantity versus quality. But I beg to differ; Adams really couldn't release a bad record if he tried. And if the new material he's been testing out on the road is any indication of what we're in store for, this is going to be some pretty great stuff.
