Raised by his mother and grandmother, Adams dropped out of school at age 16 and performed with several local bands before moving to [[Raleigh, North Carolina|Raleigh]] and forming the band [[Whiskeytown]]. Three albums and five years later, Adams went solo, releasing ''[[Heartbreaker (Ryan Adams album)|Heartbreaker]]'' in 2000. A longtime resident of [[New York City]], Adams is probably best known for his song "[[New York, New York (Ryan Adams song)|New York, New York]]", which appeared on his 2001 release ''[[Gold (Ryan Adams album)|Gold]]''. He has since released four more solo albums and three albums and one EP with backing band [[The Cardinals]]. His latest release, the EP ''[[Follow The Lights]]'', was released on [[October 23]], [[2007]]. Adams has also produced albums by [[Jesse Malin]] and [[Willie Nelson]] and contributed to the albums of artists, including [[Toots and the Maytals]], [[Beth Orton]], [[The Wallflowers]], [[Jesse Brand]], [[Minnie Driver]], [[Counting Crows]], [[America (band)|America]] and [[Cowboy Junkies]]. He also appeared on [[Country Music Television|CMT]]'s ''[[Crossroads (CMT TV series)|Crossroads]]'' with [[Elton John]]. ==Biography== ===Early life=== Ryan Adams was born on [[November 5]], [[1974]] to Susan and Robert Adams, in [[Jacksonville, North Carolina]]. His father left home when he was nine years old. His mother, an English teacher, encouraged Adams to read, and as a child he became familiar with the works of authors including [[Jack Kerouac]], [[Edgar Allan Poe]], [[Sylvia Plath]] and [[Henry Miller]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Heatley |first=Michael |authorlink= Michael Heatley |title= "Ryan Adams" |year=2003 |publisher=[[Omnibus Press]] |isbn=0711994358 |pages=12-13}}</ref> Adams' grandmother played a modest role in his childhood, serving as his babysitter after school while his mother worked. When he was eight years old, Adams began writing short stories and poetry on his grandmother's typewriter. He is quoted as saying, "I started writing short stories when I was really into Edgar Allan Poe. Then later, when I was a teenager, I got really hard into cult fiction: [[Hubert Selby, Jr.]], Henry Miller, Jack Kerouac." At the age of 14, Adams began learning to play the electric guitar that his mom and stepdad had bought him, and shortly afterwards joined a local band named Blank Label. Although Blank Label did not stay together long, a three-track 7" record exists, dated 1991 and lasting less than seven minutes in total.<ref>{{cite book |last=Heatley |first=Michael |authorlink= Michael Heatley |title= "Ryan Adams" |year=2003 |publisher=[[Omnibus Press]] |isbn=0711994358 |pages=14-15}}</ref> Adams dropped out of high school in his first week of tenth grade, moving into Jere McIlwean's rental house just outside Jacksonville. Around this time he performed briefly with two local bands, Ass and The Lazy Stars. Following this, Adams joined The Patty Duke Syndrome, and once played in a bar in Jacksonville. After obtaining his [[General Educational Development|GED]], Adams left Jacksonville for [[Raleigh, North Carolina|Raleigh]], shortly followed by bandmate Jere McIlwean. The Patty Duke Syndrome split in 1994,<ref>{{cite book |last=Heatley |first=Michael |authorlink= Michael Heatley |title= "Ryan Adams" |year=2003 |publisher=[[Omnibus Press]] |isbn=0711994358 |pages=16-20}}</ref> after releasing a 7" single containing two songs (The Patty Duke Syndrome was on one side, while the other side was a band called GlamourPuss). ===Whiskeytown=== {{Main|Whiskeytown}} Following the break up of The Patty Duke Syndrome, Adams went on to found [[Whiskeytown]] with [[Caitlin Cary]], Eric "Skillet" Gilmore, Steve Grothmann and [[Phil Wandscher]]. The founding of Whiskeytown saw Adams move to [[Alternative country|alt-country]], describing punk rock as "too hard to sing" in the title track of Whiskeytown's debut album ''[[Faithless Street]]''. Whiskeytown was heavily influenced by the country-rock pioneers, most notably [[Gram Parsons]] (with whom Adams shares a birthday). Whiskeytown quickly gained critical acclaim with the release of their second full-length album, ''[[Stranger's Almanac]]'', their first [[Record label|major label]] release. Many of the other members of the band found Adams difficult to work with, resulting in multiple line-up changes during Whiskeytown's five-year career. By the time of the recording of their final album, ''[[Pneumonia (album)|Pneumonia]]'', in 1999, Caitlin Cary was the only founding member other than Adams still with the band. ''Pneumonia'' was the first of several collaborations between Adams and producer [[Ethan Johns]]. The release of ''Pneumonia'' was held up until 2001 because of legal troubles stemming from the merger of [[Universal Records|Universal]] and [[PolyGram]].<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.losthighwayrecords.com/whiskeytown/bio.html | title = Whiskeytown :: Bio/Discography | accessdate=2007-04-11 | year=2001 | publisher = [[Lost Highway Records]]}}</ref> ===''Heartbreaker'', ''Gold'' and ''Demolition''=== Adams made his solo debut in 2000, with ''[[Heartbreaker (Ryan Adams album)|Heartbreaker]]'' (also produced by Ethan Johns). [[Emmylou Harris]], who was originally Gram Parsons' singing partner, sang backup on "Oh My Sweet Carolina." Other backing vocals and instruments were provided by [[Gillian Welch]], [[David Rawlings]] and Kim Richey as Adams embraced a style more reminiscent of folk music. It was met with considerable critical success, but sales were slow. In 2001, Adams released ''[[Gold (Ryan Adams album)|Gold]]'', a sprawling 16-song album with a limited edition five-song bonus disc. Unlike Adams' previous work the album adopted less of a country style, going on to sell 364,000 copies and making ''Gold'' Adams' best-selling album to-date. The album earned Adams two [[Grammy Award]] nominations in 2002; "Best Male Rock Vocal" for "[[New York, New York (Ryan Adams song)|New York, New York]]" and "Best Rock Album". Adams also received a nomination the same year for "Best Male Country Vocal" for his version of [[Hank Williams]]' "[[Lovesick Blues]]" from the tribute album ''[[Timeless (Hank Williams tribute album)|Timeless]]''. ''Gold'''s "[[When the Stars Go Blue]]" has been covered by [[The Corrs]] and [[Bono]], [[Tyler Hilton]] and [[Tim McGraw]]. The [[music video]] for "New York, New York", shot on [[September 7]], [[2001]], the week before the [[September 11, 2001 attacks]], prominently featured the twin towers of the [[World Trade Center]] in the background, with Adams in the foreground singing "I'll always love you, though, New York." The video received a large amount of air time on [[MTV]] in the days following the attacks. Following the success of ''Gold'', in 2002 Adams released ''[[Demolition (Ryan Adams album)|Demolition]]''. A compilation of tracks from earlier recording sessions, ''Demolition'' included tracks which were recorded for but never included in his previous releases, including songs from the unreleased albums ''48 Hours'' and ''The Suicide Handbook''. Although the album garnered more critical attention it failed to sell as well as ''Gold''. That same year, Adams produced [[Jesse Malin]]'s first album, ''[[The Fine Art of Self Destruction]]'', and later worked with Malin to form the punk-rock group [[The Finger (band)|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. He also starred in a [[Gap]] advertisement with Willie Nelson, performing a cover of Hank Williams' "[[Move It On Over]]." In May of 2002, Adams joined [[Elton John]] on [[Country Music Television|CMT]]'s ''[[Crossroads (CMT TV series)|Crossroads]]'',<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.cmt.com/shows/dyn/cmt_crossroads/59823/episode.jhtml | title=CMT Crossroads: Elton John and Ryan Adams | accessdate=2007-04-11 | publisher = [[Country Music Television]]}}</ref> which brings together country artists with musicians from other genres. During the show, John referred to Adams as "fabulous one" and spoke of how ''Heartbreaker'' inspired him to record ''[[Songs from the West Coast]]'', which at the time was his most successful album in several years. Also in 2002, Adams reportedly recorded a cover of [[The Strokes]]' debut album ''[[Is This It]]'', though it has never been publicly released.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.nme.com/news/ryan-adams/11149 | title=Adams Different Strokes in Demand! | accessdate=2007-04-11 | date=2002-04-03 | publisher = [[NME]]/[[IPC Media]]}}</ref> ===''Rock N Roll'' and ''Love Is Hell''=== During 2002 and 2003 Adams worked on recording ''[[Love Is Hell (Ryan Adams album)|Love Is Hell]]'', intending to release it in 2003. [[Lost Highway Records|Lost Highway]] deemed that it was not commercially viable and was reluctant to release it, leading Adams to go back to the studio. Two weeks later he returned to Lost Highway with ''[[Rock n Roll (Ryan Adams album)|Rock n Roll]]'', which featured guest musicians including [[Melissa Auf der Maur]], [[Green Day]]'s [[Billie Joe Armstrong]], and Adams' girlfriend at the time, [[Parker Posey]]. Adams and Lost Highway eventually agreed that the label would release ''Rock N Roll'' as well as ''Love Is Hell'', on the condition that ''Love Is Hell'' be split into two EP installments. ''Rock N Roll'' and ''Love Is Hell, Pt. 1'' were released in November 2003, followed by ''Love Is Hell, Pt. 2'' in December. Both albums were well received by critics, and in May 2004 ''Love Is Hell'' was re-released as a full-length album. ''Love Is Hell'' included a cover of [[Oasis (band)|Oasis]]' "[[Wonderwall (song)|Wonderwall]]", which Adams had previously performed live, and about which [[Noel Gallagher]] once said, "I never got my head round this song until I went to see heard [''sic''] Ryan Adams play and he did an amazing cover of it."<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.nme.com/news/oasis/12909 | title = The 'Wonder' of Ryan | accessdate=2007-04-11| date=2002-10-31 | publisher = [[NME]]/[[IPC Media]]}}</ref> The song earned Adams a [[Grammy Award|Grammy]] nomination for "Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance". While on tour to support ''Love Is Hell'' in January 2004, Adams broke his left wrist during a performance at the [[Royal Court Theatre, Liverpool|Royal Court Theatre]] in [[Liverpool]]. Adams fell off the end of the stage into the lowered orchestra pit six feet below, while performing "The Shadowlands". Dates from Adams' European and American tours had to be cancelled as a result of his injury.<ref>{{cite news | url = http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/ryanadams/articles/story/5937118/ryan_adams_cancels_tour | title = Ryan Adams Cancels Tour | accessdate = 2007-04-23 | date=2004-01-30 | publisher = [[Rolling Stone]]/Wenner Publishing | last = Dansby | first = Andrew}}</ref> ===''Cold Roses'', ''Jacksonville City Nights'' and ''29''=== 2005 saw Adams join with backing band [[The Cardinals]] to produce two albums, ''[[Cold Roses]]'' and ''[[Jacksonville City Nights]]''. ''Cold Roses'', a double album, included backing vocals from [[Rachael Yamagata]] on three songs; "Let It Ride", "Cold Roses" and "Friends". His second album of the year, ''Jacksonville City Nights'', featured a duet with [[Norah Jones]] on "Dear John". As well as releasing two albums with The Cardinals, Adams released the solo album ''[[29 (album)|29]]'' late in the year. In addition to releasing three albums, that year Adams joined other musicians in playing a [[Hurricane Katrina]] benefit show at [[The Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza|Irving Plaza]] in [[New York City]]. He also contributed three songs to the [[Elizabethtown (soundtrack)|soundtrack]] of ''[[Elizabethtown (film)|Elizabethtown]]''; "Come Pick Me Up", "Words" and "English Girls Approximately". Adams befriended [[Phil Lesh]] of the [[Grateful Dead]], after first meeting him at the [[Jammys]] awards in New York in 2005. The two performed [[Jerry Garcia]] and [[Robert Hunter]]'s Grateful Dead classic, "Wharf Rat". Adams performed at subsequent outings of [[Phil Lesh and Friends]], including a two-night stand at [[Red Rocks Park]] outside of [[Denver, Colorado|Denver]], [[Colorado]] and on New Year's Eve 2005 at the [[Bill Graham Event Center]] in [[San Francisco, California|San Francisco]]. Throughout 2006, Lesh's live performances included compositions by Adams, including several from ''Cold Roses'' ("Cold Roses", "Let It Ride", and "Magnolia Mountain"). ===''Easy Tiger'' and ''Follow the Lights''=== In early 2006 Adams performed a solo tour of the [[United Kingdom]], often accompanied by Brad Pemberton (drummer for The Cardinals) and on the final date in [[London]] by [[Neal Casal]]. Adams then toured the United States with The Cardinals, including a performance at [[Lollapalooza]] in [[Chicago]]. Adams and The Cardinals then returned to the UK in the summer to begin a tour of [[Europe]]. Adams produced [[Willie Nelson]]'s album ''[[Songbird (Willie Nelson album)|Songbird]]'', while he and The Cardinals performed as Nelson's backing band. The album was released in October, 2006. He also opened for Nelson at the [[Hollywood Bowl]] later that fall, a show that featured [[Phil Lesh]] on bass and multiple [[Grateful Dead]] songs. Late in 2006, Adams experimented with [[hip hop music]], adding to his web site 18 albums worth of new recordings under various pseudonyms, featuring humorous and nonsensical lyrics. After announcing and subsequently cancelling a performance at [[Stonehenge]] as part of the [[Salisbury International Arts Festival]],<ref>{{cite news | url = http://www.nme.com/news/27673 | title = Ryan Adams cancels Stonehenge gig | accessdate=2007-04-30 | date=2007-04-12 | publisher = [[NME]]/[[IPC Media]]}}</ref> Adams released his ninth album on [[June 26]], [[2007]], titled ''[[Easy Tiger]]''.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://main.losthighwayrecords.com/news.aspx?bid=1795 | title = EASY TIGER | date = 2007-03-30 | accessdate = 2007-04-11 | publisher = [[Lost Highway Records]]}}</ref> The album includes many tracks which were debuted during 2006's tours, as well as other older tracks which were previously unreleased. Later that year, Adams revealed that he had endured "an extended period of substance abuse" that ended in 2006. Adams indicated that he routinely snorted [[heroin]] [[Speedball (drug)|mixed with]] [[cocaine]], and abused [[alcohol]] and [[Tablet|pills]]. Adams beat his addiction with the assistance of his girlfriend at the time, [[Jessica Joffe]], using [[Diazepam|Valium]] therapy and occasionally attending meetings of [[Alcoholics Anonymous]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/17/arts/music/17decu.html | title=Ryan Adams Didn’t Die.

In a [[November 7]], [[2007]] post at the Ryan Adams Archive, Adams stated that the Cardinals will start working on a new album in [[Paris]], [[France]], after the band's west coast tour ends. According to Adams, the album will be entitled ''The Cardinals III/IV''. Adams stated that the record will "reflect the Cardinals you hear live, during those two set nights." Adams also said that he will be recording a solo record in 2008, reminiscent of "an old style crooner record".<ref>{{cite news | title=CARDINALS NEWS, AND A THANK YOU to HHEADS | url=http://www.ryanadamsarchive.com/showthread.php?t=6467| date=2007-11-07 | accessdate=2007-11-12 | publisher=Ryan Adams Archive}}</ref> In a second post, dated [[November 12]], [[2007]], Adams stated that he has experienced significant hearing loss over the course of the 2007 tour. An excerpt from the post reads, "I lost so much on this tour too. It was humbling. I lost most of my hearing in my left ear and possibly some now on the right. It is rather dramatic and something I am going to have to learn to live with and work around. But it is a huge challenge."<ref>{{cite news | title= THANKS EVERYBODY FOR A GREAT YEAR! peace out!| url=http://ryanadamsarchive.com/showthread.php?t=7026| date=2007-12-01 | accessdate=2007-12-02 | publisher=Ryan Adams Archive}}</ref> == Discography== ===Studio albums=== *''[[Heartbreaker (Ryan Adams album)|Heartbreaker]]'' (2000) *''[[Gold (Ryan Adams album)|Gold]]'' (2001) *''[[Demolition (Ryan Adams album)|Demolition]]'' (2002) *''[[Rock n Roll (Ryan Adams album)|Rock N Roll]]'' (2003) *''[[Love Is Hell (Ryan Adams album)|Love Is Hell]]'' (2004) *''[[Cold Roses]]'' (2005) *''[[Jacksonville City Nights]]'' (2005) *''[[29 (album)|29]]'' (2005) *''[[Easy Tiger]]'' (2007) === EPs === {| class="wikitable" |- !
