Ryan Adams has had a hand in two of the year’s best albums: Jenny Lewis’ excellent third solo album The Voyager, which he produced, and his own self-titled solo album, his 14th, released on Sept. 9. His album is one many thought would never happen: After 2008’s Cardinology, he was diagnosed with a debilitating ear disease, and later he scrapped the Glyn Johns–produced follow-up to 2011’s Ashes & Fire. This new album packs a grittier punch than his mostly acoustic previous album, but it’s not without its share of devastating ballads. On Wednesday, Adams shared the lo-fi video for one such song, “My Wrecking Ball.” [Source]
