US singer-songwriter Ryan Adams - who shot to fame with a solo career following the break-up of cult alt-country outfit Whiskeytown - is heading to Australia to support new release Easy, Tiger. Bringing his band The Cardinals along for the ride, Easy, Tiger is Adams' ninth LP. The Sydney Morning Herald think it "may yet rank as one of his best" and said it " distils his many influences and sources to a key triumvirate: sad country; even sadder pop; and whiskey-soaked mid-tempo rock". Tickets for Adams' shows go on sale on Friday July 6.
