Ryan Adams

In October 2011, Ryan Adams delivered a memorable performance of "Let It Ride" at Benaroya Hall in Seattle, featuring the talents of Neil Finn and Janis Ian during BBC 4's Songwriters' Circle. This intimate setting captures Adams at a unique point in his career, just after the release of his album "Ashes & Fire," which came out earlier that same month. This album was a return to his roots, showcasing a more reflective and mature approach to songwriting after a tumultuous period, including a brief hiatus from music. Notably, "Ashes & Fire" was well-received, earning him critical acclaim and revitalizing his standing in the music scene. Fans often regard this album and its live renditions as a poignant exploration of love and loss, enriching the experience at the Songwriters' Circle.
