Man, I totally blanked on the Jayhawks and that rainy day vibe—absolutely perfect.🙏

Personally, I think U2 makes for more than enough inspiration... It's just that, in this instance, he leaned on them a little too hard. I mean, he even went and copied Bono's singing style, for crying out loud.

I don't know, maybe rock n roll isn't really their thing, but "so alive" and "anybody wanna take me home" are honestly great tracks. The first one kind of gives off those Springsteen + U2 vibes, and the second reminds me of The Smiths, but hey, that's just how he rolls. I haven't managed to get my hands on Love is hell pt. 1 yet—it's impossible to find, they already sold out of the first shipment. Has anyone actually heard Love is hell?

Man, he actually broke up with his girlfriend—which is why that first album is ironically titled "Heartbreaker"—and honestly, pretty much all of his solo stuff came out after they split up. Before that, he was playing with Whiskeytown!
Nah, it’s nothing like that. I guess I might be the only person who actually digs his music. Damn, I must be one of a kind 😕

I’ve been scrolling through everything here and I honestly can't believe nobody has brought up Ryan Adams yet. His melodies are just gorgeous, and the songwriting is so raw and smart. Even at just 29, he’s already masterfully jumped through basically every genre you can think of.

You really shouldn't sleep on him, because I guess we might be looking at the most powerful songwriter since Bob Dylan first showed up.
