Album Review: Ryan Adams - Prisoner

"Tidy, yet safe."

More Ryan Adams More Ryan Adams

After nearly 20 years of consistently well-received records, Ryan Adams has established himself as his own musical mastermind and Prisoner is the latest example.

Sure, he takes a well-trodden path across the record — using organs and reverb to fill the sound on Do You Still Love Me? and the title track respectively; channeling Springsteen's vocal delivery and production on Doomsday and especially Haunted House — but delivered with the backing of a respectable band and the confidence of a man at the top of his game, Prisoner is a tidy, yet safe, album.
