Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

With a touch of Robyn Hitchcock in his vocal timbre, a smidgen of Steve Earle in his narratives and instrumental writing, and a heap of Gram Parsons in the fullness of his overall sound and structure, Ryan Adams steps well above Whiskeytown with Heartbreaker, his solo debut. By turns raucous, wistful, raspy, and simply sweet, Adams makes the most of a top-shelf acoustic band, including Gillian Welch and David Rawlings and even a guest spot from Emmylou Harris on the tenderly yearning "Oh My Sweet Caroline." There's little dependence on the usual alt-country twang and a far more rounded sense of textures here (the multiple vocal tracks on "Amy," for example, sound Beatles-esque), with glockenspiel, organ, and more signaling a sonic field of extensive depth. His spare guitar and stretched-thin vocal delivery alternate smartly with a bigger-shouldered guitar and throaty voice, never leaving behind a band conception straight out of Parsons's oeuvre. Adams signals occupancy of the post-alt-country vanguard--if there is such a thing. --Andy Bartlett

Love this Record

Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2022

Verified Purchase

I have to admit, I accidentally bought this. I was looking for Heartbreaker. But not the deluxe edition. I didn't realize this was a four-LP box set. And I'm so happy it was. I love, love, love it. It's such a nice piece for your collection. I think the producer's full-page note about the studio sessions was very nice. Just seems like he would have found an editor to have a glance at his grammar before he had it printed permanently on a record case. Other than that, this is a must for any Ryan Adams fan.

The Perfect Chameleon

Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2000

Verified Purchase

The first three songs alone are worth 5 stars--and worth buying multiple copies of this CD to give to people on the street. (Granted, the flow of the CD is interupted by some slower, very deliberate songs--but be patient with the slower songs--they are just as impressive and beautiful.)
Listen to Whiskeytown, the band Adams fronts, and you will hear a smoother version of the Replacements mixed with Country music. On the solo release you hear more of the Country, and as the Amazon blurb above makes clear, this is Gram Parsons Country. But more amazingly, this is not all you get, as is also made clear above--Adams seems to be able to do anything he wants with his voice and his music. If he reminds you of Parsons, you wish Parsons would have been this good (listen to his rendition of "A Song for You" on the Parsons Tribute "Return of the Grievous Angel"). If he reminds you of the Replacements, it's the Replacements of "Tim" and "All Shook Down"--a little more skilled at mixing the story with the music. And his voice is in constant flux--not only does the music mix these genres and bands, but his voice, its intonation and rhythms, does too. (Honestly, at first I wondered if these were covers of songs, they sounded so familiar.)
Thus the title of this review--Adams is that rarest of Artists who userps his precursors to make this music entirely his own. Now the Replacements will sound to you like Ryan Adams, and so will Parsons, and so on.

Heartbreaker indeed. . .

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2001

Verified Purchase

I'm a fairly new listener to Whiskeytown, discovered them about a year and a half ago and was blown away. Faithless Street was the first album I bought(used...21 songs for $4.00 can't be bad)and I knew it wouldn't be the last. When I heard Adams was putting out a solo album, I was on it, and I was not disappointed. I really enjoy music that reflects the artist, not artists that reflect the music. Adams' songwriting and lyrics are impeccable, and this album aptly illustrates his immense ability. Songs like "Come Pick Me Up" with its rippin' harmonica and "In My Time of Need" with its sultry rememberances of a time gone by just ruin me. Much of the album seems devoted to the woman or series of women that shattered the man's heart, and nowhere is it more evident than in songs like "My Winding Wheel", "AMY", and "Call Me on Your Way Back Home" ("Without you, honey, I ain't nothin' new"). Anyone that's ever had their heart ripped out will relate to this album, and if you've ever listened to Whiskeytown and not shut it off, you'll love this album. I have friends who've sworn never to listen to country anything that have bought this album and cried it was so good. "Oh My Sweet Carolina" begs to be mentioned as well.
Stop reading this and go buy it, you'll be amazed.

Amazing Americana album for Adams' Debut

Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2010

Verified Purchase

This is one of those very rare records that I can listen to over and over again fairly often. I've not listened to a record so frequently since U2's "Achtung Baby" came out. How could such a young guy write such heavy, heart-wrenching songs with such authority? Amazing. My only complaint about this album is I have some issues with how it was mixed/mastered (including some noticeable tape-hiss). For example, if you listen to the amazing track "Come Pick Me Up" on head phones, you have crank up the volume so much to hear the verses that when the harmonica comes in after the chorus, it is quite deafening. I hope they someday release a re-mixed/re-mastered version of this classic album. In the meantime, I used some audio software to compress this album a little bit to create my own "re-mastered" version to listen to on my MP3 player. Despite this deficiency though, the quality of the songs, arrangements and heart-filled vocals still easily earn this 5/5 in my book.

For country fans that are tired of country

Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2003

Verified Purchase

I started picking up Ryan Adams CD's when I found out he was friends with the leader singer of my favorite band, Adam Duritz of Counting Crows. They even sing on each other's albums, and I believe Ryan got a co-writing credit for "Butterfly in Reverse" on CC's current album, "Hard Candy".
I am so glad that I took a chance because Ryan is an amazing talent whose rough edges only make his brillance shine brighter.
This is the kind of country I have always wanted to listen to, but could never find through all the wanna be hat-act pop stars poliferating around Nashville these days.
Ryan has a gritty sense of love, loss, and heartache in his writing and the opening track "To Be Young is To Be Sad" is rockabilly at its finest.
I hope you take the time to try something a little different, I think you will be glad that you did.

I love this album

I love this album. Saw Ryan Adams in August and decided I needed it on vinyl immediately. Some of his best writing, no question. To Be Young, Sweet Carolina, Come Pick Me Up are bonafide classics. Emmylou Harris on back up vocals? Amazing. The cover image says it all. Lay back and let this album spin.

Great Artist, Collection of Songs & Vinyl Pressing

Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2015

Verified Purchase

Great vinyl (re) pressing. No clicks etc and sounds extremely well mixed like the vast majority of Ryan's vinyl. I never heard the original vinyl so cannot compare but I cannot imagine it sounding any better. I also appreciate that it was re-released on vinyl at such a reasonable price...can't see spending what are essentially exorbitant "scalper" pricing on the rarer/out of print/sold out works and appreciate the "one per household" limitation put in place to at least try to curtail that on his newer pressings. This definitely an immediate favorite and Emmy Lou adding vocals where she does it such a beautiful touch and shines so nicely as well.

l'esordio capolavoro di Adams

Reviewed in Italy on October 8, 2020

Verified Purchase

Ryan Adams è uno che ci ha messo molto di suo per rendersi antipatico. E si è anche dato da fare ad incidere album francamente trascurabili. Io che per lungo tempo ho seguito (va beh continuo anche ora) la nuova scena cantautorale americana, con lui mi sono fatto anche del male.
Ma è anche vero che mi ha regalato emozioni fortissime. Con i Whiskeytown inanzi tutto. E poi con i suoi primi due lavori.
Questo "Heartbreaker" del 2000 e il successivo "Gold" del 2001. Due album molto diversi tra loro ma che hanno una cosa in comune: sono splendidi. Non belli, splendidi.
"Heartbreaker" è un bel titolo per un album che suona come questo; ci credi davvero che uno che scrive un lavoro cosi intriso di lirismo abbia il cuore spezzato.
Country folk allo stato puro, toni sommessi (fa eccezione la sola "Shakedown on 9th street" memore della lezione dei Whiskeytown), arrangiamenti sopraffini, un chiaro richiamo alla tradizione folk rurale americana, quella più genuina.
Adams non farà mai più un album simile, già a partire dal disco successivo. Non si metterà più cosi a nudo.
Ma questo "heartbreaker" resta una delle cose più belle fatte negli anni 2000 in ambito country roots.
Snobbarlo è delittuoso.

Beautiful... lives up to all the praise

Being a latecomer to the party, I'd read plenty of raves about this album. Wow! It doesn't disappoint. It's beautiful, stark, fresh, and honest. I'll be boring and call it his best album (as do many others). I go back to it over and over again. The deluxe package includes a second CD of music, alternative takes and miscellanea (for the fans), and a nice concert DVD.

For Tomorrow

Ryan's acclaimed, heartfelt debut album

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 27, 2017

Verified Purchase

In 2000, Ryan Adams won much critical acclaim following the release of his debut solo album 'Heartbreaker', which many fans and critics still consider his best work after the stacks of prolifically released records which have since followed.

Produced by Ethan Johns (who has worked with artists as diverse as Kings of Leon, Paul McCartney, Tom Jones and the Vaccines), this is an alternative-country music affair, said to have been inspired by Ryan's breakup with girlfriend Amy Lombardi (listen, or just at look at the title of track four to see why), and a very heartfelt, sincere collection of songs which all flow really well, and each one is placed perfectly.

The aforementioned track 'AMY' is one of the most touching songs about yearning for a former partner that you'll probably ever hear, but is just one of several highlights. 'Oh My Sweet Carolina', a truly beautiful song about feeling homesick is easily among the best of Ryan's many emotional songwriting victories, and 'Come Pick Me Up' and 'In My Time of Need', later covered by Joan Baez also stand tall.

With the release of 'Heartbreaker', Ryan Adams, whose fans base continues to grow all of the time (his most recent album 'Prisoner' has become his highest charting in Britain, going straight into the charts at no.3!), established himself as a first rate singer-songwriter. Here we can make comparisons to somebody like Bob Dylan (see the track 'To Be Young (Is To Be Sad, Is To Be High)'), or Nick Drake especially, and not the popular rock singer who goes by a very similar name, but is a completely different musician.

Ryan's soft yet powerful and always assured vocal delivery on his confessional, straight-from-the-heart songs, mixed with the beautiful stripped-back music craftsmanship behind him, is truly something. When this man writes and sings his tales of despair, pining, and loneliness, you just know without question that he means and feels it. 'Heartbreaker' remains a masterpiece, and no self-respecting fan should be without it.

SACD

Diese Rezension bezieht sich nur auf den Klangunterschied zur normalen CD.

Für die Möglichkeiten einer hochauflösenden SACD ist diese Musik wie geschaffen. Mal vom ersten Lied abgesehen, herrschen die ruhigen und sparsam instrumentierten Töne vor.
Akustische Gitarre, Natürlichkeit und Direktheit der Stimmen, (die wenigen) Dynamiksprünge, Räumlichkeit: alles eine Klasse besser auf der SACD gegenüber der (schon recht guten) CD.

Gleiches gilt übrigens für die "Gold" SACD von Ryan Adams.
