Ryan Adams Wants You To Know He Drinks A Lot

RyanadamsnavigatorWith folks knowing we're the psychotic Ryan Adams fans that we are, about seven people emailed us simultaneously about the, erm, additions to his site.

Ryan Adams raps. Yes, we said it, and you'd better believe it. Name-dropping Kevin Costner and blowing kisses to his critics/self with lines like "his albums are long and sappy, basically alternative country but crappy" -- it sounds as though a smug Adams meets Beck's " Stereopathetic Soul Manure" in a dark bar and discusses their own bad press. And it's hilarious.

After observing the track in its full glory, click to the "Transporter" section and then the little buttons therein for rough snippets of country songs about drinking.

Addendum: Ryan is redeemed! Jaded Insider has just heard the new Willie Nelson track "Songbird," on which Adams plays, and it is simply outstanding. Think Beth Orton's "Concrete Sky," on which Adams sang, but even more wistful and memorable. "Songbird" is the title track from Willie's new album of the same name, due Oct. 31 via Lost Highway.
