In the new 2003 December issue of Playboy, Ryan Adams was asked about his album Love Is Hell. The interview went like this:

PLAYBOY: We've never heard you rock so hard.

ADAMS: The record I made before this, Love Is Hell, was really blue, so chances were this one would be more rock. I'm not in a place where I fell cumbersom. I've had enough of that.

PLAYBOY: What the hell happened to Love Is Hell.

ADAMS: It's done, but it was denied by my label. No one did shit with it. When I turned it in they went, "It sounds like The Smiths." I'm like, "That's a huge fucking compliment. Of course you don't like it. You live in Nashville." I'm on a major label, but I should be on an indie. The money's the same, and the fame doesn't fucking mean shit. At least on an indie I'd get to make the art I want to make.

  • Someone ought to call up Patrick Fitzgerald and the Rest of Kitchens of Distinction--This man has stolen the title of their first album!

  • I love Ryan Adams.

    Whiskeytowns album "Strangers Almanac" is the only record that I have ever bought solely on the strenght of a review without hearing anything by the artist...since then I have been hooked, Adams is just ace-tastic!

  • Ryan Adams would just love to be Jeff Buckley.

    The man is a fairly convincing fake.

    not important.
