On January 15th, we wrote about how Mr. Ryan Adams announced that he would be “taking a step back” from music (here’s a link to the article). Well, it’s been about two weeks, and he’s back with a new release. According to a post on Ryan Adams‘ MySpace blog yesterday, a Valentine’s Day EP will be available on iTunes beginning February 10th. It includes, according to the blog post, Ryan’s “best love songs.”
The track list:
Extra Cheese
Two
Blossom
Answering Bell
Evergreen
My Love For You is Real
Desire
Hey There, Mrs. Lovely (unreleased bonus track)
It’s great to see him putting out more unreleased material. I’m sure there’s more in the vault, just as I’m sure there’s more material that hasn’t even been recorded yet. Break or no break, just keep’em comin, Ryan!
Anyhow, are these your favorite Ryan Adams love songs? Any you’d add to the list? We’ve posted a live version of “Desire,” and an acoustic recording of “My Love For You is Real” below in the Dig-It section. They’re both beautiful songs… that’s for sure.
