NEW RYAN ADAMS ALBUM SET FOF OCTOBER

It turns out that the retirement from the music business that the prolific Ryan Adams announced in 2009 has ended up being just a hiatus, with a sold-out tour of Europe and a surprise opening set for Emmylou Harris in April being part of his recent activities. And this week he announced that on Oct. 11 he’ll release “Ashes & Fire,” his first official studio album of new material since 2009’s “Cardinology.” (Last December he released the studio album “III/IV,” but it was made up of material recorded in 2006.) “Ashes & Fire” will also be Adams’ first new album since the dissolution of his backing band The Cardinals.

Adams recorded the new record at Sunset Sound Factory in Hollywood with producer Glyn Johns, who has worked with The BeatlesBob DylanThe ClashThe Who and The Rolling Stones. Johns’ son Ethan produced Adams’ previous albums “Heartbreaker,” “Gold” and“29.” Guests on “Ashes & Fire” include Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers organist Benmont Tench and Norah Jones, who added piano and vocals to the songs “Come Home,” “Save Me” and “Kindness.”

Adams will soon announce dates and venues for a fall solo acoustic tour of California the Pacific Northwest. For a complete track listing of “Ashes & Fire,” read after the jump.
