2005 was quite as year for Ryan Adams. He released 3 albums, and played the Hurricane Katrina benefit, AND somehow found the time to hang out and play shows with Phil Lesh. Cold Roses was his first album of the year, and his first with The Cardinals. The album is typical Adams: some amazingly catchy and beautiful songs, surrounded by songs that just seem to scream "look at me! I'm prolific, and I'm not afraid to release anything!". Adams ups the annoyance quotient by releasing this as a double album, when the music on both discs would easily fit on one.

But, the good moments far outshine the bad, as is usually the case with Ryan Adams. The Cardinals are a great band, and he even gets the excellent Rachel Yamagata to sing along. All in all, you'll be happy with this. It's an album that has grown on me steadily over the years, and it never disappoints. Just don't pay double album price for it..buy it online for a better price. Ripping people off like that is not cool.

Produced by Jay Farrar. Unfairly rated as average by many critics, and ignored unfairly by many listeners. Okemah is Son Volt regrouping and going back to what made Trace so great. Songs like the burning "Bandages And Scars", "Afterglow 61", and "Ipecac" show that Farrar was still a formidable songwriter, and that Son Volt still had plenty of greatness in them. The best moments from a Son Volt show are from this album. That's because it's a great album. Period. [First added to this chart: 04/11/2012]

Produced by Karina Benznicki & Eli Cane. Recorded live in Chicago in 2005, this is a great document of everything that makes Wilco a great band. So many great songs from so many great albums...this two disc album could have easily been stretched to four without ever getting dull. The audience is stoked, particularly for winning tracks like "Via Chicago", "Jesus, Etc.", and "Misunderstood". A positively great performance by one of the greatest bands of our time. A must have live album. [First added to this chart: 04/11/2012]

Produced by Dave Sardy. When I first heard this album, I hated it. But it's been growing on me ever since. You can't think too much about the lyrics...but musically, particularly guitarist Andrew Stockdale, there's a lot going on here. "Woman" was the hit,evoking comparisons to Led Zeppelin. But there's a lot more here than just that. There are instrumental adventures all over this album, making it a surprising and more than solid debut. Not much since, but this one is a keeper.

In 2005, it was hard to find anyone more prolific than Ryan Adams. He released three albums that year: Cold Roses, Jacksonville City Nights, and 29. Jacksonville (a reference to Adam’s hometown in North Carolina) is the more country oriented of the three, and contains some of Adams’ more beautiful songs. With the opening track, Adams lets you know that this is most definitely a country album, led by Jon Graboff’s pedal steel. “Dear John” is a duet with Norah Jones, and almost all of the songs are listed as group compositions.

The album is not as strong as the excellent Cold Roses, but is still a fine album from Adams. Like all of his records, it does contain its share of filler, but unlike some of his efforts, it’s not too long that those lesser tracks become burdensome. Adams is a streaky writer…his streaks are very large, and he tends to record it all. Still, Jacksonville is a good look at the more country side of Ryan Adams.

Produced by Paul Epworth and Bloc Party. You can't please all of the people all of the time, but Bloc Party certainly did try with their debut album. Silent Alarm crosses genres so many times, it's hard to keep track. The result is a fascinating and well rounded album that sounds better and better with each subsequent listening. So much to like about this..."So Here We Are", "Positive Tension", "Pioneers", "Banquet". A great collection of ambitious and well crafted songs. This deserves every bit of praise that it gets.
