Ryan Adams Discussion

I saw that, and damn it I am so tempted to request Motion Sickness by Phoebe Bridgers.

Thanks you!!!

He's back on his bullshit.

missed ya’ll.

Was reading an Isbell interview today and caught this.

re: Southeastern..... “ I was going to do that with Ryan Adams. He was going to produce it. And then at the last minute, he pulled a Ryan Adams and backed out, probably because he heard the songs and was threatened by honesty.”

this is from a recent interview that isbell did with gq:

Last year, the New York Times reported that Adams engaged in “a pattern of manipulative behavior in which Adams dangled career opportunities while simultaneously pursuing female artists for sex.” (Adams denies the allegations.) When the Times story broke, Isbell said on Twitter that he believed the women who had come forward to accuse Adams. At dinner he told me that the two of them were no longer in touch. “I was disappointed in myself for not realizing that those kinds of things were happening,” Isbell said. “And the situation with Ryan and with the Times story made me rethink my friendships with other men and how much we're actually sharing with each other. And I think it really helped me redefine, you know, what kind of a friend I want to be to somebody.”

In what way?

“There were a lot of things that I thought about Ryan's situation, foremost being that I felt sorry for the people who had had to deal with it, for the women who had had to deal with it. But one thing that I thought was I need to actually care more about what somebody is doing on a day-to-day basis, because, first of all, I don't want to be close to somebody who is doing these kinds of things again. And also, if you're gonna be somebody's friend, you need to know 'em better. I wasn't being a very good friend. You know? Whether he deserved a good friend or not, I should have known that those things were going on.”

Recent Instagram posts show him in the studio, including short clips of recordings. Who knows if these will ever see the light of day, but good to have proof that he's still recording.
