Ryan Adams - Chris

I'm digging this new double album. 

New record? I didn't see a new one on my streaming service.

The double album, Chris, has been exclusively released for purchase on his web site for a period of one week and then will be dropped to the streaming services. I think that we will be seeing that business model take hold going forward since that at least gives the artist some additional revenue. The simple reason I don't subscribe to any streaming service is that so little of the generated income goes to the artist. I don't work for nothing or next to nothing and don't feel an artist should either. Support artists if you can.  

Hi Ski :)

I gotta wonder why only MP3 format?

Def not gonna spend $20 for mp3's.
I'll support the artist if the artists supports quality.

To be fair, Ryan's e-mail did say:
"If you can’t afford this and want to hear it, please know it’s cool if your buddy wants to share it with you. My first Black Flag record was on side 2 of a blank cassette and it changed my life."

He is aware of the mp3 issue and is figuring out a solution. I am not a fan of that format either but they don't sound bad at all. I believe the thought process was get some income flowing then make it better. 

I see, that makes sense. Well I bought Boston tix, that should help too.

Web site crashing problems but ended up with front row for NJ. laugh

For those interested, Chris is now on some streaming services. I'm not sure which ones as I don't stream and trying to dig out the information from DRA's social stream of consciousness is a task better left to others. It's worth searching out. 

It also seems that Mr. Adams isn't resting on his laurels and will be releasing 3 more albums shortly, one of which will be another double album like Chris. Looks like 4 albums in one year in 2022.
