Where’s the heartache? Did you leave it on the shelf? Are you ignoring it? Letting it collect dust, scared to open the cover? Or maybe you let the feeling-box weigh heavy daily, the same record spinning ‘round. You feel bad, but wait for something good. Lovelorn, or just coming-of-age (because we’re always, always coming-of-age), the song you hear has grit and rock, where once it had an alt-country slant. It is Ryan Adams wrenching ballads, voice sandpapery smooth, soothing you. Y’all’s relationship may go back to high school, singing “Two” or his melancholy twist on “Wonderwall” while driving back-country roads with your girlfriends. Or it starts now with Adams’ 14th LP, self-titled. Or perhaps it starts with a bang, a diving in, next Thursday night (4/30/2015) at Iroquois Amphitheater with a loved one, or a no one---alone, you just as worthy as two or three people. Either way, buy your ticket for Ryan Adams + Jenny Lewis today, found online or at Iroquois for $47.50/pop. Let’s spot the pretty birds on stage. Let’s build ourselves a fire, and burn the heartache down.
