Easy Tiger

Easy Tiger is the ninth studio album by Ryan Adams, released on June 26, 2007, on the Lost Highway label.

"[1] In an interview, Adams states that the album contains "very, very simple, very easy songs that, in my opinion, were written on the periphery of some more complex work.

"[2] Easy Tiger marks the first appearance of both guitarist Neal Casal and bassist Chris Feinstein, following the departures of J.P. Bowersock and Catherine Popper, respectively.

The album debuted at #7 on the Billboard 200 with Adams highest first-week sales (61,000)[3] and has sold 217,000 copies in the U.S. as of September 2008[update] and 500,000 worldwide.

[7] Real Detroit Weekly gave it a favorable review and called it "a mosaic masterpiece of [Adams'] past works.

"[25] The Village Voice also gave it a favorable review and said, "The lived-in songs and careful presentation of Easy Tiger make for one of the strongest records of his second career as a solo artist.
