Sound: Beautiful country rock, achy and elegant ballads and a chuggin’ roots rocker. This is the gorgeous, breezy and confident music you expect from Ryan Adams.
Heavy Rotation track: “Two”
Medium Rotation tracks: “Rip Off”; “Everybody Knows”; “Pearls On A String”; “I Taught Myself How To Grow Old”; “The Sun Also Sets”
Recommended: Easy Tiger is a succinct album that delivers classic Ryan Adams from one track to the next without any filler or fat. However, it feels a little too perfect and by-the-numbers for him. The excitement, monster singles, unevenness and recklessness of his previous releases are lacking. Yes, it’s an easy and pretty listen, but I miss some of the danger.
