It says something about the astonishing work ethic Ryan Adams has that in the 15 years since he first embarked on a solo career, he has released two books and 14 albums - on his own and with The Cardinals - and managed to fit in a period of “retirement” in 2009, and a comeback. This on top of various side projects, including the disturbingly titled Sleazy Handshake, punk band Pornography and the black metal band Werewolph. He’s a hard man to keep track of, and that’s just the way he likes it.
As befits such a mercurial talent, he has turned up all over the ˿, with a Zane Lowe session here, a Dermot O’Leary there, and lots of on-air support from Bob Harris, Jo Whiley, Shaun Keaveny and Lauren Laverne. Even ˿ Four has had him in for a live session, filmed in 2008. The only surprise is that this is only Ryan’s second stab at a Glastonbury performance, having had to pull out in 2005 with an ear infection. Grab your chance to see him close the Park Stage on Sunday night, before he’s off onto another project.
