Okay. This thing has been on the internets for over a month. Admittedly, I am really slow on all things Ryan Adams and generally when another blog makes mention of Ryan I just scan down to the next entry. However, I heard about an awesome cover of Alice in Chains, Down in a Hole floating around and decided to check it out. In my opinion Down in a Hole was the best song Alice in Chains ever did.

I found an entry about it on You Ain’t No Picasso but it’s link was not working for me so I followed that to An Aquarium Drunkard’s post from a month ago about it. Again, dead link. I was beginning to give up but Aquarium Drunkard had a link to Who’s Driving the Bus and I finally got to hear it.

Autopsy Report: Fucking wonderful. Make’s me wonder if I should rethink my whole Ryan Adam’s indifference.

Here is the back story per Who’s Driving the Bus:

“Ryan Adams played a few shows last week to promote the upcoming release of his new album, “Easy Tiger”. These shows saw Ryan confined to playing only the piano and singing after suffering from an undisclosed injury….”

The cover was the show’s encore. You can check out the whole show over at the Ryan Adams Archive.
