RYAN ADAMS SHARES NEW SONG, “DOOMSDAY”

From a press release:

Prisoner’s two previous singles have generated consistent and enthusiastic raves: The latest issue of  Rolling Stone hails Adams’ performance on first single “Do You Still Love Me?” as “vocal firepower that recalls Foreigner’s Lou Gramm,” while USA Today named second pre-release track “To Be Without You” Song Of The Week in its December 30-January 2 edition.

Adams has also confirmed the first dates of the Prisoner Tour, which will begin after his Jan. 21 solo appearance on “A Prairie Home Companion.”:
