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 on
Butterfly 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.

Also, check out Pete Yorn's new track "Don't Wanna Cry." The video is pretty sweet (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acdgWsXJTTg). The album is out now! Totally worth a listen!

I decided to check out Ryan Adams because I'm a fan of Mandy Moore and was curious to hear what her husband's music sounds like. So far, I like what I hear! Oh, and Mandy doesn't make Britney-esque bubblegum pop anymore. She's now a folk/rock singer-songwriter in the vein of Joni Mitchell.I think Ryan's fans would like her new album "Amanda Leigh."
