Video: Ryan Adams: "These Girls" / "Beautiful Sorta" (live on AOL's Spinner)
Even Ryan Adams hasn't figured out a way to use archival disco footage instead of appearing in his own live videos. At least, not yet. Up against the familiar lighting from other recent live clips, Adams and the Cardinals perform one song from the brand-new Easy Tiger and another from 2005's Cold Roses at New York's Avatar Studios. Easy Tiger's stripped-down "These Girls" gets a moaning alt-rock treatment-- does Adams know Chris Cornell has a new album out?-- while Cold Roses' "Beautiful Sorta" lets the band settle into a festival-friendly country-rock shuffle. "Look at all this shit that we started," Adams sings, twisting his voice up in the usual, unpredictable knots. AOL's Spinner has both clips.
