If you really like Ryan Adams' "Heartbreaker," I'd suggest you pick up "Demolition," which is nothing at all like his first solo effort, but a damn good record, "Love is Hell," a fabulous Ryan Adams disc that the label didn't know what to do with, and two records he made with his band The Cardinals: "Cold Roses" and "Jacksonville City Nights."
If you should happen to fall for all of these -- and you well might, as the guy is a sometimes brilliant songwriter -- "Gold" is a glorious record from start to finish. It came right after "Heartbreaker," and was a total change in that it was often poppier than hell.
I had the great good fortune of seeing Adams a couple of times back in the day, and he's a truly rare talent.
