Heartbreaker

"In the year 2000, singer, songwriter, and all-round innovation alt-cowboy Ryan Adams departed Whiskeytown on a runaway train to solo success. The enigmatic Adams would go on, alongside Wilco and other alt-country staples, to popularize the genre. On the way, Adams gained some notoriety for his controversial antics. Indeed, his fiery temperament has been well documented throughout his career as a solo artist, yet the man's talent as a prolific songwriter is irrefutable. That is, one could argue, the legend of Ryan Adams; he's a man both flawed and differentiated by his mythical levels of passion. The power of Heartbreaker `s deluxe edition lies in the way it offers glimpses into the workings of that myth. We're given a rare glimpse into the musings and idiosyncrasies of the Jacksonville native's artistic process. And it's incredibly exciting".
