So Ryan Adams says .........cont.

"I've done this solo thing for quite a long time," Ryan Adams tells the Smoking Section, after a few cigarettes. "I've never found my footing with it." Adams wanted to release the wonderful new disc Easy Tiger as a Cardinals record, without his name on the cover. His label, Lost Highway, shot him down, so it's Ryan Adams and the Cardinals. But as Adams morphs from a solo star into a Cardinal, he'll release a massive box set this winter, full of never-before-heard albums. Here's a taste. 48 Hours: This album was bootlegged and traded, but never in the completed version. The Suicide Handbook: Made before Gold, this surfaced as an acoustic bootleg, but, Adams says, "Nobody has heard the strings, the bass or [drummer] Brad Pemberton � it's a heavy record." Darkbreaker: "A f*cking dark record. It's creepy � I was really depressed." Black Hole: "I was on a lot of narcotics when I wrote it. It sounds like the Strokes, but if they sucked." Add to those a couple of rarities discs (tentatively titled Let It B-Minus and Demolicious) and, says Adams, "It's still not everything we have.
