Musical Thesis: Ryan Adams "Live at Carnegie Hall"

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

At the center of every album is a musical thesis. Ryan Adams "Live at Carnegie Hall" displays an artist who is in command of his craft. With deep and emotional songs from the depths of his soul, he owns the stage with each strum of the guitar and every howl of his broken voice. On this record it is more than the music and the stage, it is the personal delivery. It is an artist pulling back the curtain and allowing his fans to see life on the inside. Naturally, I understand why artists avoid these sort of revelations, but with Ryan Adams there is a mutual understanding. The musician and the audience share an emotional path, therefore the revelation acts like a mirror and the music becomes even more. 

Be good to each other,

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
