So many good songs, but I have to go with "Let It Ride" off Cold Roses. The album itself is aces, but I love the rolling feeling of this song in particular. Also, he references the Cumberland River in the lyrics to the song and I grew up on the banks of said river in Clarksville, TN, so I get warm fuzzies whenever I hear that line! :)

My favorite Ryan Adams song is "Hotel Chelsea Nights" because it's such a good cover of "Purple Rain" without being one. ;-)

"I miss Kentucky and I miss my family, oh the sweetest winds they blow across the south."
He couldn't be more right....
It reminds me of the stoned spring nights spent camping with buddies at the Red River Gorge in Central KY. Those were the days....
I love this lyric because of the nostalgic feeling I get when I hear it. I moved away from Kentucky in 2005 to St Louis and now I reside in Tuscaloosa, AL.
I'd give it all up in a minute to go back....

My favorite Ryan Adams song is "In My Time Of Need" from Heartbreaker. The production is perfect - quiet and introspective and there are no unnecessary notes to be heard. In fact, if you listen carefully, you can hear some flubbed notes.
The song is timeless. It could have been written in the Oklahoma dustbowl or in the big open sky of Montana. The lyrics are heartbreaking. My favorite lyric:
"Cause when the calm comes down
I take the truck on into town
And buy whatever we can't seem to grow
I work these hands to bleed cause I got mouths to feed
And I got 15 dollars hid above the stove
Will you say to me a little rains gonna come
When the sky can't offer none to me
Cause I will come for you
When my days are through
And I'll let your smile just off and carry me "
awesome.

had a hard time narrowing it down, but i'm going with "rosalie come & go."
without paying attention to the lyrics, it's just a rollicking fun tune, but when you do, it's anything but... it's the juxtaposition that i dig...
you can always contact me at musicgourmets.com....
I think it's Call me on your way back home, but I can't be sure because I haven't found out which one he wrote about me, yet. Of course all of the "Roses" references could be about me...
I jest!

My favorite is Come Pick Me Up from Heartbreaker. I sometimes find the chorus amusing and sometimes provoking. I like the harmonica and the meandering sort-of melody arrangement. There is a sullen, yet refreshing frankness in the song as a whole. That is why I keep returning to it.
"With a smile on your face,
And then do it again"
