David Ryan Adams is een Amerikaanse country singer-songwriter. Hij begon als voorman van Whiskeytown, maar timmert inmiddels solo aan de weg. Naast de zang speelt hij ook zelf gitaar en piano. Adams wordt gedurende zijn carrière bestempeld als de nieuwe Gram Parsons of Kurt Cobain, maar zijn carrière is met name door het veelvuldige componeren en opnemen van liedjes in zowel country-rock als -folk stijl nog het beste te vergelijken met die van Neil Young.
Zijn nieuwe album Ashes & Fire is zeer aanbevolen
Oh My Sweet Carolina- Ryan Adams met Janis Ian en Neil Finn Live at the Bush Hall London 30 Sept.2022
I went down to Houston
And I stopped in San Antone
I passed up the station for the bus
I was trying to find me something
But I wasn't sure just what
Man I ended up with pockets full of dust
So I went on to Cleveland and I ended up insane
I bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance
I was spending money like the way it likes to rain
Man I ended up with pockets full of cane
Oh my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go
Oh my sweet disposition
May you one day carry me home
I ain't never been to Vegas but I gambled up my life
Building newsprint boats I race to sewer mains
Was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what
Funny how they say that some things never change
Oh my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go
Oh my sweet disposition
May you one day carry me home
Up here in the city feels like things are closing in
The sunsets just my light bulb burning out
I miss Kentucky and I miss my family
All the sweetest winds they blow across the south
Oh my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go
Oh my sweet disposition
May you one day carry me home
May you one day carry me home
