Info for 29

Ryan Adams's third album of 2005, 29, is his only outing of the year not co-billed to his band, the Cardinals. The distinction is important--while Adams's Cardinals-backed outings allowed the North Carolina-born singer/songwriter to get in touch with his alt-country roots, 29 is a more minimalist offering that features gritty blues (the simmering title track), spare ballads (the lovely 'Starlite Diner'), and emotive pop/rock (the delicate 'Blue Sky Blues'). Although this disc is closest in spirit to Adams's „Love Is Hell“ releases, it's a much more eclectic affair, leading the listener down many of the performer's subtler musical paths and back to one lonely intersection on the edge of town.

'[T]his is not easy listening, ye he's never made a more beautiful album.... 29 sucks the willing listener into the undertow of his private ocean.' (Uncut)
