Out of all the country artist out today, Ryan Adams, in my opinion, is one of the most prolific and talented artist out there. His album Easy Tiger is not only one of my top albums of the decade but one of my favorite albums of all time. From the opening guitar riff of Goodnight Rose is a country to the melancholy sound of Oh My God, Whatever, Etc. to the country rock of Halloween Head, Easy Tiger has a little bit of somethin’ somethin’ for any music fan.
The caliber of musicians that Ryan has playing with him on this album is incredible. The background vocals that Sheryl Crow adds to the song Two is surprisingly (me not being a Sheryl Crow fan…at all…not a bit…seriously) a nice touch that song needed. Playing steel pedal on the album is Jon Graboff, who I think is one of the best steel pedal players out there. Incredibly haunting.
If you like alt. country, Easy Tiger is a must have album.
