Limited Edition Clear Vinyl!
In celebration of their 10th anniversary, Lost Highway Records releases their
most acclaimed albums including Ryan Adams' Gold on limited edition clear vinyl.
Gold - the brilliant second solo album from Ryan Adams - only heightens the
artist’s current role as one of the most revered songwriter-performers of his
generation. But like all great art, Gold should also serve to surprise and
confuse the expectations of those who’ve been quick to place labels on the
extremely talented and prolific former leader of the now-legendary
alternative-country band Whiskeytown. While Adams’ previous releases were mostly
downbeat affairs, all it takes is one listen to the Pete Townshend-like power
chords and '60s soul organ that dominate this album’s opening track, “New York,
New York” — or the happy-go-lucky, take-no-prisoner harmonica on “Firecracker”
with its “Let me be your baby tonight” chorus —to alert the listener to the fact
that Gold is going to be anything but a sad affair.
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 nominations in 2002; "Best Male Rock Vocal" for
"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. Gold's "When the Stars Go
Blue" has been covered by The Corrs and Bono, Tyler Hilton and Tim McGraw.
