Love it or loathe this comment...Ryan Adams reaches inside me and finds me as much as Elvis himself....Ryan has been sent for a reason...his interviews are SO damned informative.

Ryan sounds better on this live version than the recording. The mark of a truly talented musician/singer, he never disappoints.

"Oh my sweet disposition, may you one day carry me home." There is so much truth in the irony of this line. It just hits home, wherever that is.

Magical performance! There some moments in such performances that are so so sweet and touching! Such one is during 2.51-2.57 when Janis is singing the backing vocals, she has done something (do not know what) and turns first to Neil smiling and then looks back with compassion back at Ryan...Loved that moment...It was so beautiful surrounded by this angelic music!

This song is like a woman i keep going back to time and time again....we part company for a year or two...off i go and date and/or live with other chicks...then i break up somewhere down the line...and walking on the boardwalk of a town...THERE SHE IS ONCE MORE...standing in front of me...and i fall to my feet, in tears because i'm head over heels once again....with SWEET CAROLINA.... ....and her arms open up, as she picks me from off that boardwalk, dusts me off and readies me for heartbreak once again.....but i still love her....ALWAYS!!!! Whenever i hear this song...I'M DONE.........this dude is a MASTER...this song is a MASTERPIECE...rock on Ryan. Here's one right back atcha Mr Adams...you taught me feeling...i penned the words to JASMINE LAMPORT'S first three songs.....all whilst listening to this song.....BLESS YOU RYAN ADAMS....Jasmine's selling well..and i, too, am a songwriter now...touching other folk in the same way as you touched me...IT ALL GOES AROUND!!! Sonic Foxx.

In all fairness though...I NEARLY JUMPED ON A RANDOM PLANE...and flew to America for one reason and one reason only. To hook up with and surprise an American dude i met on a writers forum...his name..BRION RIBORN...totally undiscovered talent...gifted, a poet, a songwriter and a superb human being in every aspect....AMERICA and the rest of the world will catch up one fine day...i actually wrote with him(an honour..trust me...he was SMASHING any opposition on that songwriter's forum)...a demo flew across the pond to England...and POW!!!...the best song i've ever co-written thus far. I once saw a youtube video of his where Brion was playing to a few folk in a bar(KITTY KIERNANS in NEW YORK...i think he still has a residency there)...you can hear some random guy speaking gently in the background...suddenly this comment comes from his mouth..."HE'S KINDA LIKE, JOHN MAYER..he's REALLY good"....nuff said...JOE PUBLIC knew!!! IS THIS AN AD FOR BRION RIBORN??.....DAMNED RIGHT IT IS!! We'd spot this guy in a heartbeat in England...and he'd be signed!!...on the spot. LOST IN AMERICA i guess...BIG COUNTRY.

Well I went down to Houston and I stopped in San Antone I passed up the station for the bus Was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what I ended up with pockets full of dust So I went on to Cleveland and ended up insane Bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance I was spending money like the way it likes to rain And I ended up with pockets full of 'caine Oh my sweet Carolina What compels me to go? Oh my sweet disposition May you one day carry me home I ain't never been to Vegas but I gambled up my life Building news print boats I raced in sewer mains I was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what Funny how they say that some things never change Oh my sweet Carolina What compels me to go? Oh my sweet disposition May you one day carry me home Up here in the city it feels like things are closing in The sunset's just my light bulb burning out I miss Kentucky and I miss my family All the sweetest winds they blow across the south Oh my sweet Carolina What compels me to go? Oh my sweet disposition May you one day carry me home May you one day carry me home

Well, Ryan didn't think so... Emmylou and "croak of a frog" just doesn't equate. Emmylou is, if you didn't know, on the original recording of the CD, which I have, because I think they're both amazing singers.
