Ever since my recent purchase of The '59 Sound by The Gaslight Anthem I have been pondering whether they are more Ryan Adams or Bryan Adams.
On a scale of 1 to 10 with Ryan Adams being 1 and Bryan Adams being 10 (with 7.5 being the red do not enter critical danger level) I think I would place them as a 6.
They are currently in the Americana section but that could well be temporary.
Your views please ladies and gentlemen.The collective viewpoint will determine their place on the CCM shelves.

Amy Adams?
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely not Americana. I would charity gthat one, CC
ReplyDeleteHmm, sounds sort of Springsteen-gone-wrong to me and I'm no fan of Springsteen!
ReplyDeleteYou've reminded me of when I was once out with a much older friend, a nice enough man but he tried a little too hard when he mixed with younger folk. A mate of his son's walked by and they stopped to chat: "What kind of music you listening to then, young lad?" "Oh, well I went to see Ryan Adams last week" "Great," said my friend, " I love Bryan Adams".
"Hmm, sounds sort of Springsteen-gone-wrong to me and I'm no fan of Springsteen!"
Deletesounds like you have impeccable taste in music, C.
Funny you should say that I!m sure I read somewhere that he joined them on stage once or vice versa
DeleteI had high hopes for this lot when they first appeared but now I would say more Bryan than Ryan I'm afraid...
ReplyDeleteBryan I'm afraid.
ReplyDeleteThe jury has spoken. It will be retained,if seldom played, but removed from the American section
ReplyDeleteHave you got a "should be re-charitied" section?
ReplyDeleteNo as that would probably constitue at least 60 per cent of my music collection!
