Ryan Adams & The Cardinals were an American alt-country band led by Ryan Adams. Though in the later years they preferred to be known simply as “The Cardinals”.
The Cardinals are featured on the albums Cold Roses, Jacksonville City Nights, Follow the Lights and, most recently, Cardinology as Adams’ backing band. Though credited as a solo Ryan Adams release, the 2007 album Easy Tiger also features The Cardinals, as does the Willie Nelson album Songbird.
Regarding the band’s name, Adams states that he: “suggested the Cardinals because it was my high school football team, I thought it would be very funny, considering those people wanted to beat the shit out of me. I’d go to school with Danzig shirts on. My nickname at school was literally ‘Satanic.’ I fucking really wanted to play football.”
According to Pitchfork Media, Ryan Adams & the Cardinals may be known as simply “The Cardinals” from now on.
Initially, The Cardinals consisted of Ryan Adams, Brad Pemberton, JP Bowersock, Catherine Popper, and Cindy Cashdollar. The band toured in 2004 and recorded Cold Roses. Cashdollar left in 2005 and was replaced by Jon Graboff.
The band toured worldwide without Cashdollar to promote Cold Roses, and during this period returned to the studio to record their second album, Jacksonville City Nights. Bowersock left after the album was recorded, and was replaced by Neal Casal.

Saw Ryan and the Cardinals open for Oasis in December 2008 and was mightily impressed. I was ribbing on them at first due to the large amount of barely dressed girls making puppy dog eyes and blowing kisses at the man but I really enjoyed the set. Sadly, this was also the last Oasis concert I'll be seeing. The basist was also hilarious as he kept dancing around all snake-like in his tight little t-shirt.
