Destroyer, et al...

The long-rumoured, never found "Destroyer" sessions songs by Ryan Adams turned up at a Ryan Adams fansite recently. Adams collaborated with David Rawlings and Gillian Welch on the 14 songs, which includes "Time (The Revelator)," which Welch delivered on her masterful "Time (The Revelator)" album a few years ago.

This session pre-dates the release of Adams' best record to date, "Heartbreaker" -- which Rawlings and Welch played a big part in helping shape.

The "Destroyer" sessions music is very strong and a real treat for those of us that miss Adams' masterful country-based stylings. It's hard to believe material this strong was shelved and lost for so long.
