Ryan Adams continued one of the most revealing, in-depth album promotional cycles in his career with an expansive interview (this time, with a human and not cat) on Channel 4’s The Great Songwriters. As Adams readies to return with Prisoner in February, the singer-songwriter dove deep into his creative process, digging up old notebooks and song sketches from his personal archives, making this a gold mine for Adams fans. 

He also performs four tunes including new Prisoner cuts “Tightrope” and “Broken Anyway” as well as selections from his self-titled release, “My Wrecking Ball” and “Gimme Something Good.”
