Ryan Adams KCRW Interview part 2/Oh My Sweet Carolina

[poophorsie]

it's sad that he takes drugs. But he's still talented, wonderful and pure. LOVE HIM

[buddybopper]

The Cardinals are one the best live bands that has ever existed.

[spwb2k]

I just thot of something that sadly can never be,

but would have been epic beyond belief:

What if Johnny Cash had got a hold of this song before he died?

I get chills just thinking about it. Might Cash have stolen it from Ryan the same way he stole Heart of Gold from Neil Young?

[daisyzoozoo]

i never get tired of hearing Ryans voice. i personally dont think he looks anything like he sounds, he looks kind of ordinary but has this most amazing voice that seems like its coming from somewhere outside of him. just perfect. i could die listening to that voice.

[daisyzoozoo]

play music or......vandalise cars or marry your neighbours daughter....! hahaha i like this explanation.

[tarheelbred04]

So sweet.. as a Raleigh, NC native, I cant say enough about seeing this "local band" called Whiskeytown growing up.. my how you've grown Ryan..

[jimcarroll100]

i play it with a capo on the fourth making the guitar key e and use an a harp, sounds nice with those two cross keys, very blues-ey.

[tigermale]

this radioreporter is an asshole, why the hell do they let these stuck up assholes interview the masters, like when they sent people to interview bob dylan, and they asked stuff like"how many folksingers are there out there?"

[tigermale]

bothersome, he plays it in F and uses a Bb harp:S

Correct me if i'm wrong though, however i've tried all my harps and Bb is the only one mathcing:S

[JaronEldon]

I think it's in Eb? He's playing it capoed three, so that should be Eb. And it seems like he just uses an Eb harp? Bb might make sense and work because Bb is the fifth of Eb. Maybe.

[48follower]

it's true. eb is the harp

[lanerant]

i concur, If the harp had been Bb there would've been an egregious A natural coming out, and if it had been an Ab harp we would've heard a b7 on the Eb chord. seeing as there was neither, until the end where I think he might just be bending through the Db...I would agrree the harp and the guit match! either way, he's fucking perfect and whatever way he did it is the way it was meant to be: )

[tigermale]

well, u probably know that stuff alot better than me:) i'm far from the expert on these matters:) thanks for telling me though. all i know is when i follow this, i use my Bb harp, and i've managed to get it almost perfect.

[Rooneyusa]

can somebody rip this for me

[lanerant]

I forget the program now, but there is an online utility that will allow you to upload a URL and it will email you a link to the converted file. works like a fucking charm! but I forget what it's called!

[theeskimofriend]

Great song great album, you can just feel everybit of his pain in that album.

[shelley9000]

This is killer!

[pardoned]

i just adore that guy, he could just stand up on stage and sing the alphabet and i would pay to see him....

he's just... brilliant! in every sense of the word.

[daisyzoozoo]

haha yeah, me too :)

[greengirl0078]

MOST DEFINITELY!!

without a doubt.

[SweetHippie76]

omg ryan is so not goofy looking .. he is super hot ..

[daisyzoozoo]

the truth

[chrisschin2]

goofy lookin dude

[iheartDRA]

speak for yourself...

[jennyfish26]

my faverty song

[west7689]

Oooops...spoke to soon.

[west7689]

I wish we could see all of the Cardinals!

[AmandaV03]

I love Ryan Adams but I don't like how he characterizes Jacksonville, NC. There is more to it than marrying your neighbors daughter and vandalizing cars. I grew up there. Anyway, I love his music and I love Oh My Sweet Carolina.

[leotherussian]

Rick Moranis and Rivers Cuomo had a kid.

[GlitterGlue07]

you know, ryan adams' music is so awesome that personally, i don't think it makes a different whether he's on drugs or not, he's talented no matter what

[gep132]

so true

[timcat107]

every body rights better stuff when there on drugs

[z4ckm0rris]

...except he specifically said he didn't write songs high or drunk.

[jamint3]

Then maybe if you got high, you could learn how to use the word 'there' properly.

[musicbybrendan]

absolutely brilliant

[mdbfg00]

adams wrote his best stuff when he was on drugs

[Rapaglia1]

*WRITES

[z4ckm0rris]

...except he specifically said he didn't write songs high or drunk.

Oh, and learn how to spell.

[klleonard]

Love the Venti Americano

[JuneBlackmoon]

wow, this version really makes me cry, this is crazy, when did I ever feel like this about some guys music. He insanley good! Shit....

[61nilknarf]

Amazing!! So perfect.

[jainonen]

The greatest version of this song I have ever heard. Go Cardinals! Great singing from Ryan.

[isaiahsmommy]

what the heck is he talking about??

[halloweenheadgirl]

wow this version is incredible

[thevioletiris]

i love how he's integrating his older material into the cardinals. i saw the cardinals live and people were shouting "carolina" all over the place and he wouldn't play it. it's funny because it fits so well stylistically to the cardinals sound. they add so much to the depth of the song, it's beautiful. i hope he keeps doing that, he has such an amazing catalog of songs.

[djastevie]

i love ryan adams hes hilarious when hes not stoned and pissed im so glad hes clean now

[greina7]

love it when he plays the harp! just amazing <3

[NegusOnTheWorld]

he's so cool

[MRPSYCOTIC]

thanks a lot for the video. love this song, one of my favourites.

[Shelbs1028]

is it just me or is Ryan pretty pissed about this interviewer reducing all of his music to "all about girls"

[hannahmichellet]

He's such a rambler. But still amazing. Thanks for the video, this is so great.

[jdfmurphy]

God! He's in good voice here!

Seems the sober life might suit him

[driftingout]

One of my favourites,Luv his little bits on the Harmonica too.And nice to see an edited interview that helps make the bloke sound abit more coherent than usual.

[remtraderhh]

I'm so addicted to this!

[honestmango]

Wow, he's a lot better here than when I saw him falling off a stage in Austin.

[pmbhansen]

When did he do that ? During the Whiskeytown days, or more decently ?

[dominichazell]

Awesome. So cool, so funny. Thank you for posting.

[buzz05232000]

Thank You.

[splitscreenshot]
