But rock stars need a lot of eyeliner

It's hard to say if this rocker, Ryan Adams is just trying to mess with us. Although many of his riffs are stolen and it seems as though he tries to immitate another post-Beatles rock icon in each of his songs, he sings, "Let me sing a song for you that's never been sung before..." But he pulls off quite a good jam, not to mention album. "This Is It" (slight twist on the Strokes "Is This It?") is the highlighted tune. Poignant Johnny Cash song, "Hung My Head"closes it out.
