Best of 2010 - #13

Cheating a little bit with this one. Technically, Ryan Adams & The Cardinals released a double album, which contains both III and IV. III is good, but IV is great, so I've decided to give it the spotlight. Some of Ryan's stuff can push out there (and this is from a huge Ryan Adams fan), but when he's working with the Cardinals, it tends to keep things a little tighter. It really works on this one. Pretty straight up rockin' album with just two tracks that didn't quite hit home with me. Highlight is P.S. Track two is a really good one as well, but with a chorus of "We're F#&ked", I had a hard time giving it 5 stars, but 4 will work ;-)
