Parasol Records : Mail Order : Staff Pick

Subtotal:$0.00

Staff pick of the week:
Paul...I think I have a Velvet Crush...Chastain picks Ryan Adams & Cardinals CD

	Artist:Ryan Adams & Cardinals Title: *Jacksonville City Nights* Label: Lost Highway Format: CD \| DLP Price: CD $16.25 DLP $20.75 Listen: • A Kiss Before I Go • Hard Way To Fall • The Hardest Part

That's Ryan Adams. The little bastard dusts off a beat up old ten gallon hat and channels some of his classic country influences on Jacksonville City Nights. A great cryin' in your beer kind of record like they used to make before popular county music became so hopelessly cheesy and fake. The Floyd Cramer-esque, honky tonk piano and dusty, old-timey steel guitar really give the material that time worn feel. In fact, cd and 60's inspired artwork ought to come in an pre-scratched-up jewel box.
