HingusHJan 13, 2006I agree with the Toby Keith without any (ANY) talent. This record is a real stinker. P-U!!!!

mattbarberbNov 3, 2005To compare this record to a Toby Keith record is crazy. Toby has more talent in his little finger than Ryan has in his whole sickly body!

DGOct 13, 2005I really liked Cold Roses. The band collaboration, the songs, a solid, really good album all the way. But this one is just plain bad. A previous reviewer said it best as it really does sound forced and contrived. When one considers some of the great albums he hasn't officially released such as 48 hrs or the Suicide Handbook, this one takes the heap and should have been kept buried.

zavohOct 10, 2005The best thing i can say about this release is that he's managed to convince the critics that he's made a legitimate, stripped down alt/country record again. This disc has about as much soul as a Toby Keith record, sans the Monday Night Football ethic. Skip this drivel and take a listen to the Tarbox Ramblers or Freakwater.

Jacksonville City Nights still ranks as one of Adams' stronger albums, not just because he's returning to his rootsy roots -- after all, this isn't alt-country, this is pure country -- but because it maintains a consistent mood, is tightly edited and well sequenced, and thanks to the Cardinals, has the easy assurance of Cold Roses

His most straightforward country music to date.
