My goodness, Ryan Adams is busy on the cameo front right now — or maybe it’s just that his cameos seem to be actually coming out lately, where before you’d always just read about them without ever actually hearing them. But anyway, he’s popped up online in featured cameo roles on new songs by two different acts more or less simultaneously. First, he’s featured as guitarist on New York City singer-songwriter Krista Polvere’s “Looking For Love,” a song that sounds like something Ryan himself might have done circa Rock n Roll; and second, he’s the big special guest on Dixie Chicks spinoff Courtyard Hounds’ “Are You Man Enough?,” which Ryan co-wrote and produced.
Take a listen and see what you think. Both are not bad; but both also leave me wishing he’d get back to making his own record…
