RYAN ADAMS AND THE CARDINALS, "Color Bars" [imagined LP]

 

According to reddit: '[YouTube user] Future posted "Heartbreaker", "Anything But No" and "Juliette" but then removed it after Ryan's management requested that it and the (amazing) Rat Classics 2 tracks be removed.' These are leftovers from 'The Complete Easy Tiger Sessions (2006-07); a few appeared in some form on Easy Tiger; most belatedly included on the 2010 release of III/IV (the band had four different albums at one point). "The Rat Classics 2 tracks are, I think, from August 06 or later in the Easy Tiger sessions," quote from reddit user Disink. Thank you to the OP, Adamamericana (no relation, lol) and graciousfew for the info!

Have you heard me?
In the fall of 2022, a since deleted YouTube account leaked several tracks from various unreleased sessions; including "HEAVEN", "A Wish", "Rollin' with the Punches", "Party Clown", "24/7", "Temples of God"  and "Oh My God Whatever, Etc. (alt. take)" from RATT CLASSICS, VOL. II.

A snippet of "Kim" from the HAYWIRE (rumored title to Glyn Johns's second record with DRA that was shelved in 2013) LP sessions also leaked; "Two Hearts" (acoustic demo for EASY TIGER)" and a Sad Dracula version of "Two"; plus CARDINOLOGY era demos, BLACKHOLE demos, etc. Most of them have been wiped but some of us grabbed it up, haha. There's an album worth of songs leftover (not including the ones re-recorded for III/IV with the Cardinals) from the sessions for 'WAR & PEACE' (Ryan's post-'Darkbreaker' sober 2xLP that was shelved by Lost Highway in 2006). Improved versions of "Maps" and "Who Were We?" are a highlight.
