Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Ryan Adams has had a bumpy ride since going solo, so it’s a rather bold move for the American singer/songwriter to release a double album. But, on the whole, it’s a move that works. Cold Roses is admirably consistent, an impressive feat over 19 songs. At his best, as on Disc One’s "Sweet Illusions" and Disc Two’s "Life is Beautiful", Adams invokes the spirit of Jeff Buckley in both sound and spirit, resulting in the album’s two strongest tracks. Elsewhere, it’s pretty much business as usual for Adams--a mellow and melancholy blend of country and low-key rock, sure to please fans of Gold more than people hoping for a harking back to his days with Whiskeytown. It’s only on "Beautiful Sorta" that Adams really puts a foot wrong, with its chorus ready made as a too-obvious singalong for barefoot American college girls. Though its overall relaxed pace won’t appeal to everyone, fans who first discovered Adams with Gold will find that Cold Roses has much to offer. --Robert Burrow

5.0 out of 5 stars Still leading the pack, 26 May 2005
Being a long term Whiskeytown/Ryan Adams fan, pre-ordering this CD was a no-brainer for me. However, having been one of those in the camp that found Rock 'n' Roll a little too contrived and Love is Hell adorable, but only in small doses, it was a blast to hear just how back on form this new offering is!

I've had the CD almost two weeks now and the only track I haven't warmed to is 'Now that you're gone'. Put it another way, 18 great tracks out of 19. Q Magazine didn't like the album, except for that very track! Oh well, it takes all sorts as they say. A lot of the tracks have that whole building up through the structure of the song as it progresses, a bit like early Springsteen.

One amazing reference point on this album is the Grateful Dead. Some of the lead guitar work on disc two is pure Jerry Garcia circa 1970 - I think someone has been studying the masters! As on Love is Hell, Ryan is taking some of his melodies into Roy Orbison territory, but he does it so well, it works.

All in all, this is a brilliant return to form. If you are a Whiskeytown fan, or a fan of Heartbreaker or Gold - then simply buy this album, you'll love it. If you are a Grateful Dead fan, you're in for a nice surprise. If you're the sort of person who can't stand a pedal steel guitar, then this album might just change your mind once and for all.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Look Back For The Forward Mover, 4 May 2005
Cold Roses, quite honestly, should have come out two months ago when the album's themes of love lost and soldiering on could have been more useful. In a shot back to Whisketown-era sound, Adams has developed a two-disc release capable of making Yankees nostalgic for the South. Crafted in the vein of folk remorse, Roses stands to be a reminder to any fan of the Ryan Adams that arose from the streets of Nashville into the national star he is. The album is perhabs a stab back at his former band, proving he can craft the sound with any revolving band, or perhaps it is a reminder to listeners that his most recent album, Rock N Roll, wasn't his future direction. The truth is that it doesn't matter. Cold Roses is a crafted product that ranges from the driven "Let It Ride" to the rambling "Magnolia Mountain," but strikes the heart with pieces like "Sweet Illusions." The first of an ambitious three-record release effort, Cold Roses is well worth the purchase price and well worth the wait for any of Mr. Adams' fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars He's Done It Again, 4 May 2005
Having isolated and confused the casual fans by releasing more records in the past couple of years than Blue Nile have in the past twenty, this album seems to have arrived to little hype. With descriptions like "boy wonder" long buried in the much-hyped days of Gold, many's hopes seem low to say the least. But for those of us who never deserted him, any Ryan Adams release is a big event.
Cold Roses is the first of three albums to be released this year (29 in July and Jacksonville in September). It becomes evident after only a couple of listens that this is another classic hot on the trails of the mighty Heartbreaker. Combining the lyrics of Love Is Hell with the hooks and pop sensibilities of Gold, Ryan has managed to recapture the zest which made Whiskeytown so good.
Indeed, Pneumonia fans will find much to love here. Ryan's gift for melody and delivery makes a dramatic return on songs like Mockingbird which feels like a more intense, more depressing Sit And Listen To The Rain. Songs like If I Am A Stranger and Dance All Night evoke the country pop brilliance of Don't Wanna Know Why and Firecracker.
Listening to the Cardinals play, you can't help but think Ryan kidnapped Whiskeytown and made them play under pseydonyms. Yes, they're THAT good.
With this album, Ryan takes another step above his rivals and immitators. You can almost feel Connor Oberst crying at the idea of having to compete with this. I'm wide awake it's morning my ass...
