Title: Hyped beyond reason unoriginal Adams
Review: This is not a bad record it just isn't that good.It comes across as an Alt country by numbers record without the touching (if a little hackneyed) songs that made Adams's name on "heartbreaker".Even the title "Gold " is hardly inpired?You'd be better off with a Wilco or early 1970's late 60's Rolling Stones record from which he has taken so much and made so little.It is interesting to note that the record was produced by Ethan Johns, the son of sometime Stones producer Glynn Johns and features Chris Stills son of etc..I think this kind of thinking is what holds Adams back as he has an obvious talent.
