Ashes & Fire, 2011
Written by Ryan Adams
Title trax!
The glossy production of this song hides the old-timey feel of the lyrics, with their references to Bowery bums, sailboats, and "Roosevelt pie." The image-laden lyrics flicker like a movie, showing glimpses of a man determined to leave, a crying woman, a "heart made of ashes and fire." Benmont Tench's saloon piano buoy the song along. It's a singer-songwriter song, elegant and spare, touching country and rock and pop and folk traditions.
