Biography
(2004 – 2009)
Ryan Adams & the Cardinals were an American alt-country/jam rock band that were formed in 2004 by alternative country singer-songwriter Ryan Adams and fronted by him until 2009. Albums made by the band are Cold Roses, Jacksonville City Nights, Follow the Lights, Cardinology, and III/IV. The 2007 album Easy Tiger, though credited as a solo Ryan Adams release, also features the Cardinals. Along with their work with Adams, The Cardinals recorded an album with Willie Nelson in 2006, and following Adams’ departure in 2009, The Cardinals recorded an album with singer-songwriter Gin Wigmore.
Regarding the band’s name, Adams stated that he “suggested the Cardinals because it was my high school football team”. 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.
In 2006, Popper left the band and was replaced by Chris Feinstein prior to a European tour in 2006. In 2007, The Cardinals joined Ryan Adams to record his new album, Easy Tiger, and the album’s producer, Jamie Candiloro, was added to the lineup on piano. Follow the Lights appeared later in the year, once again produced by Candiloro. The album, Cardinology, was released in October 28, 2008; III/IV followed in 2010.
