Cold Roses distilled a sound that, I don’t think, people expected from Ryan Adams. It seemed that he wanted to capitalize on a rock sound but this turned everything on its head and showed how he could capture a folk/ballad/bluegrassy type of sound that didn’t erode his personality as a rock and roller. Not only was it a great album but it surprised so many people, too.

Without a doubt – one of the BEST albums of the decade. Adams is one of the best artists of the past 10 years, and this album, to me, was his masterpiece. Easy Tiger might edge it out, but that’s a tight race. I LOVE Cold Roses!

I remember getting this album in high school, and I bought on a whim. I never realized back then how much I would grow to love that album.

Totally agree with this. I picked up this album on a whim a couple of years ago and was since sold on Ryan Adams. I’m glad to see it get recognized.

Finally, Cold Roses gets recognized on a best of 2000s list!
This is the best album that was released in the past 10 years.
Thanks!

i am of the opinion that the three albums released in 2005 were easily his best, with cold roses topping that list. seems most people prefer jcn out of three, but i’m on your side.

I actually need to revisit this one, and I also have to say that I still listen to JCN on a somewhat regular basis. There’s something about that record too…not so much 29.

I was wondering when RA was going to show up here…
