Query: best album since Whiskeytown

First off, this album is great. All the songs have a folky, but rocky characteristic. There is less of the mopey 80's sound from his last albums (sans Rock N' Roll). The Cardinals, and Ryan himself, sound a lot like American Beauty/Workingman's Dead era Grateful Dead on Cold Roses. The Dead references are almost too much - Magnolia Mountain? Cold Roses? However, he pulls it off. This isn't some hippie-dippie two chord noodly stuff, but good folky songwriting, just like the two albums I mentioned by The Dead. Everyone knows Ryan Adams is a brat - I once heard he kicked a guy out of his show for requesting Summer of 69' :) - but, you can't help to like him with material like this. I would rank his songwriting up there with Springsteen now, no joke.
