Ryan Adams "Avenues" An Appreciation

An appreciation video for the musical genius of Ryan Adams. Live acoustic Whiskeytown song, "Avenues". Please enjoy.

"No, the cabs here, they can't run down to your house
sometimes i'll sit and wish i were somewhere else
so let's dim the daylights for us sweethearts that we are
sometimes i find myself still lying in your arms
all the sweethearts of the world
are out dancing in the places
where me and all my friends go to hide our faces

avenues run one way
streets they run the same
something in the air here
still keeps me away

though the cabs here, they can't take me to your house
i get directions and pretend i was somewhere else
all the sweethearts of the world are out littering the bars
and i am still avenues from any place you are

you know avenues run one way
the streets they run the same
it's going to take a lot of shit for me
to not stay away"

Ah, nice! Is that the same Exit/In show where he does Return of the Grievous Angel with Gillian Welch?

[Fenner1976]

@autmommy Yes that's the one. You're clearly a dedicated DRA follower...which is good :)

[autmommy]

What I would like to know is where and when this recording is from...

[Fenner1976]

@autmommy It's from Exit/In, at Elliston Place, Nashville. Recorded on 28th October 1999.

love the shots of Chris - especially today of all days - happy birthday spacewolf.......... -

been thinking of this song a lot lately - beautiful the video is lovely - thank you for this xo

[Fenner1976]

@littlestar3103 Thank you. You are very kind. My tickets have arrived for his Oxford acoustic gig next month, so hopefully my experience of watching "the master" at work will be well worth it. I've got another RA tribute video planned, but I'm not sure what to use as the song choice? Something mellow anyway hopefully. Take care :)

Um my bad, I mean No the cabs here.. as it is above is correct :)

[autmommy]

It for sure is I know the cabs here... written by a homesick Ryan after moving to NYC from Carolina

[stevelondon]

Great work, but I think the first line is "I know the cops here..."

[sedantez24]

This is the first song that got me into Ryan Adams. I remember listening to it on a listening post in a record store and thinking what the f*ck... that's beautiful

@Fenner1976 I think maybe poison and the pain or something similar if you have it?? - it definitely needs something worthy of it..... I am headed to Manchester & Glasgow (possibly london too) - I feel like aNY opportunity to see Ryan is one that has to be taken..... enjoy the gig xo
