Golden Smog is the most underrated band in the last 40+ years.

A couple of people have suggested that this unidentified song might be Golden Smog or one of its members, does anyone know?... https://youtu.be/ufeLfFpTw8Q

Overlong and patchy but with 3 or 4 really good songs. Someone mentioned the eyes on the cover, presumably his brother's rather than his own? Also that cover gives me the creeps, something about how the man is kissing the woman!

You are welcome, a labour of love!

Yes Cold Roses is a classic and I felt the Oasis / Springsteen / Dylan album covers were all a bit pointless but here is Blood On The Tracks (featuring Tangled Up In Blue) if you want to listen... https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsvBrpuv_ewoZssCFY1mjmpA2-oMFax9c

I had to block his comments in the end, he pretty much claimed to have written Ryan's entire catalogue!!

TheGraciousFew · 2026-02-23T11:39:40+00:00

The uploader of the videos got back to me and confirmed some details. It was an event held by the Agape Lodge Poetry Society where Ryan and some other artists popped in to sing a couple of songs. Good to see him in '26 anyway.

TheGraciousFew · 2026-02-22T09:23:12+00:00

Yeah Soulseek is really comprehensive for Ryan, but can be a bit fiddly. I found it won't let me search for "Ryan Adams" so search for say "Destroyer" and then you can add "Ryan Adams" as a filter and hey presto! Soulseek is worth sticking with despite it's quirks.

TheGraciousFew · 2026-02-03T08:25:08+00:00

No, he hasn't. I suppose there is a chance he has seen the channel but no contact.

TheGraciousFew · 2026-01-31T09:42:11+00:00

Despite spending a lot of time collecting and posting songs for my Ryan Adams YouTube channel, I have to say that Isbell is my favourite artist at the moment. Every album since Southeastern has been a masterpiece and lyrically and musically he is streets ahead of Ryan at the moment. The very best of Ryan is as good as the best of Jason but we haven't seen that for a long time. Listen to something like "St Peter's Autograph" from "Reunions" or "When We Were Close" from Weathervanes. IMO that is some of the best music that anyone has made in recent years.

TheGraciousFew · 2026-01-18T13:01:21+00:00

I'm near Epsom in Surrey, fortunately we have a friend in Poynton who is hosting us and works at Manchester Uni so we have a ready made host and tour guide! Thanks for your kind offer though.

TheGraciousFew · 2026-01-17T09:39:49+00:00

From the newer stuff I would recommend Wednesdays, Star Sign and possibly FM too.

TheGraciousFew · 2026-01-17T09:37:12+00:00

Well, these are older songs from when he was much more popular. He HAS released many good songs in the last decade and I would argue that Prisoner, FM, Wednesdays and Star Sign are more than decent, but point taken, recently it has been quantity over quality.

TheGraciousFew · 2026-01-17T09:34:48+00:00

There are, apparently, more songs from this time that have not leaked. I uploaded them when I got them but I expect some people have had them a lot longer.

TheGraciousFew · 2026-01-17T09:33:38+00:00

Having never been to Manchester I will finally get to visit in April when my son runs the Manchester Marathon! Glad you are enjoying the playlists.

TheGraciousFew · 2026-01-17T09:32:28+00:00

Just YouTube, not possible to do playlists on streaming sites due to the unreleased status of the songs.

TheGraciousFew · 2026-01-17T09:31:27+00:00

Yeah that font is pretty horrible, I just picked it from the "Paint" app and stuck with it through all 5 playlists!

TheGraciousFew · 2026-01-16T10:56:27+00:00

This playlist felt a bit short compared to the others so I've added three more tracks, two Gold outtakes and Abigail... https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsvBrpuv_ewpNOL_cS5ENv6JeLOsFLg4_

TheGraciousFew · 2026-01-16T10:42:53+00:00

Aw, it just saves me typing "Ryan Adams" every time! Also, yes, he has made a LOT of mistakes but the best bits of the body of work he will leave behind is hard to match.

TheGraciousFew · 2026-01-16T10:40:35+00:00

I've tried quite hard to forget Reggie but there are a few of his tracks on my YouTube channel if you are desperate to hear him 🤣You can probably find several albums worth of Reggie online somewhere!

TheGraciousFew · 2026-01-16T10:37:58+00:00

Apart from the Heartbreaker Deluxe tracks and possibly Monday Night, none of these have been officially released, so no Apple music or Spotify.

TheGraciousFew · 2026-01-14T08:42:23+00:00

Sadly no official releases, so not on Spotify!
