III/IV

In 2007 Ryan Adams and the Cardinals entered Electric LandLady studios on 8th street in NYC and went in for a session intended to last two weeks. Six months and over 60 tracks later, they emerged with the album EASY TIGER. But it was only glimpse into the depth of the work the band had undertaken and the vast amount of material that was recorded. As the sessions wound around into the deep winter months a double album emerged, a rock record that felt more like a hybrid of all the records that the band had mutually consumed as kids… from influences as wide as KISS and the Cars. Originally hidden away in the vault while the band hit the road to support EASY TIGER, and now for the first time here in it’s entirety is the Cardinals second double-album concept rock opera about the 80’s, ninjas, cigarettes, sex, and pizza.
