Ryan Adams – Gimme Something Good (Live,Later… with Jools Holland):
I can’t talk
my mind is so blank
so i’m going for a walk
i got nothing left to say
i can’t see
there’s a darkness on the rise
i’ll be waiting here
till the end of time– Ryan Adams (Give me something good, 2014)

Oh My Sweet Carlonina:
Mark Deming (allmusic):
Mixing the heartfelt angst of a singer/songwriter with the cocky brashness of a garage rocker, Ryan Adams is at once one of the few artists to emerge from the alt-country scene to achieve mainstream commercial success and the one who most strongly refused to be defined by the genre, leaping from one spot to another stylistically while following his increasingly prolific muse. Adams was born in Jacksonville, North Carolina in 1974. While country music was a major part of his family’s musical diet when he was young (he’s cited Loretta Lynn, George Jones, Merle Haggard, and Johnny Cash as particular favorites), in his early teens Adams developed a taste for punk rock and began playing electric guitar.
