Ryan Adams recently announced plans to release three albums this year. Today, he’s offered the tracklist and release date for the first one, Big Colors, via The Washington Post’s Power Up newsletter. The record, produced by Adams, Beatriz Artola, and Don Was, is out April 19. Find the tracklist below.
Don Was told Power Up: “I wish everyone could witness the awe-inspiring sight of Ryan Adams recording in the studio... the endless flow of brilliant ideas is mind blowing and he’s clearly tapped into the deepest reaches of the Creative Ether. His forthcoming album(s) elevate his art form to a whole new stratosphere and it’s an honor and a thrill for all of us at Blue Note Records to work with him. Oh yeah... one other thing: He’s the most underrated guitarist in rock’n’roll.”
The second album to be released will be called Wednesdays. Adams has revealed, via CBS News’ Anthony Mason, that the record features Emmylou Harris, Jason Isbell, and Benmont Tench. Find the Wednesdays tracklist below. The release date has not been announced.
Big Colors follows 2017’s Prisoner. Adams also shared a collection of unreleased Prisoner B-sides. Last year, he contributed a Tegan and Sara cover to The Con X: Covers and shared his own original track “Baby I Love You.”
