Jacksonville, United States (1994 – present)
Ryan Adams (born David Ryan Adams on November 5, 1974) is an alt-country and rock and roll singer-songwriter from Jacksonville, North Carolina.
Adams dropped out of high school at age 16 to work in a shoe shop and make music. He formed a band named Whiskeytown in 1994; they disbanded in 1999 having released two full albums, Faithless Street and Strangers Almanac. Adams went on to put out his first solo record, Heartbreaker, in 2000. After a long delay, in 2001 Whiskeytown’s third album Pneumonia was finally issued.
In 2002, Ryan contributed backing vocals onButterfly In Reverse, from the Counting Crows album, Hard Candy; after Adam Duritz (Counting Crows lead singer) appeared on the album Gold.
Ryan is highly prolific, and in 2005 released one double album and two regular albums: Cold Roses, Jacksonville City Nights and 29, respectively. His album, 29, was produced by friend Ethan Johns (who also produced his first two albums, Heartbreaker and Gold). In between those two releases and his 2005 triple-header, Ryan released Demolition (a collection of out-takes), Love Is Hell and Rock N Roll. Unreleased studio albums include 48 Hours, Exile On Franklin Street and Suicide Handbook.
In addition, Adams worked with Jesse Malin to form the punk-rock group The Finger (under the pseudonyms, “Warren Peace” and “Irving Plaza” respectively), who released two E.P.s which were collected together to form We Are Fuck You, released on One Little Indian Records in 2003.

Really enjoying Jacksonville City Nights at the moment. A fine record! Coming from someone who's predominately listened to Ryan's poppier stuff (Easy Tiger, Gold, Cardinology and III/IV), I'm enjoying this folkier, alt. country departure. Ashes & Fire is pretty solid, too.

It's amazing how much "unreleased" music you can find of Ryan in the web! "Suicide Handbook", "48 Hours", "Swedish Sessions" and "The Destroyer Sessions" are awesome! If you got some time, do yourself a favour and get some of these...

Just get everything he has ever done. Everything, but Orion. Orion was really bad. Also check out Whiskeytown albums, too.

I started with Love is Hell and I was pretty happy with that. But Demolition and Gold are amazing, as well.

Easy Tiger, I think, is another contender to start with.
