Ryan Adams To Tour In January

The quality tours keep coming through. Regular Australian visitor Ryan Adams and his band The Cardinals will return for another visit in January 2009. The Frontier Touring Company recently announced that Adams and The Cardinals will perform in Fremantle, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne.

The ever prolific Adams is touring in support of the album Cardinology (out now through Universal), which is their tenth album release in a phenomenal nine year run. Adams is used to strong critical support and the response to Cardinology has been no different with the likes of Rolling Stone and Mojo gushing superlatives, echoing the sort of response his last tour received.

The New Zealand Herald described a show as “confoundingly great” while The Australian were similarly amazed: “…the singer lead his troupe through a set that proved to be spellbinding, occasionally puzzling and musically top-notch.”

Beat Magazine likened the show to the best: “That’s the thing about Adams – like Lou Reed, like Iggy – even when he’s bad, he’s still very good,” but it was Inpress who described The Cardinals most aptly, declaring them “knock-your-socks-off amazing”.

All very impressive. Makes you wanna buy a ticket doesn’t it?

With a history of selling out shows across Australia and New Zealand there’s no doubt this tour will follow suit.
