It was great to see Ryan in H-Town again after a seven year absence. Heights Theater was the perfect venue for an intimate show like this where it was just the man himself with the exception of one song where he plugged in & played “Bartering Lines” with a drummer & bassist. The show was divided into two sets: the opening set featured songs from his first solo album Heartbreaker which turned 25 this year. With his usual wicked sense of humor, Ryan entertained the audience between songs. The man is such an incredible storyteller. The second set featured songs from other solo LP’s including Gold, Easy Tiger & Prisoner. However, the cover songs that Ryan has been doing for several years now that have a connection to the town he is playing in were the highlights of the 2nd set. First, from Houston native the late Kenny Rogers, his massive early 80’s hit, “The Gambler” followed by “Rough Boy” from local legends ZZ Top. But, Ryan’s acoustic/blues version of H-Town hip-hop stars The Geto Boys “My Mind’s Playin’ Tricks On Me” was the highlights of the evening for me. Inventive musicianship at its creative finest. To close out the evening, a classic from Heartbreaker, “Come Pick Me Up”. An incredible show for any true fan of Ryan Adams. Strongly recommended catching this tour at some point if you can!
