Three new Ryan Adams albums on the way this year

There was a time in years gone by when we used to write about Ryan Adams on AUK as much as we do about Neil Young now. He was our go-to guy, partly because he was always doing something interesting (like falling off stage mid-set here in Liverpool and breaking an arm) and partly because he was releasing records like they were part of a quarterly subscription service. Anyway, old times are back it seems, as Adams tweeted yesterday:

Remember that year when I released 3 records.

He then asked LaCroix sparkling water: “If I tell you the name of my new record will you mock up my own blend” (of water?) before revealing presumably the first of the three albums:

And then posting a clip from the record, describing it as “fucking epic”:

It's sounding fucking epic. Here it comes…
