Historically, Ryan Adams has never been the type to wait years between albums. Somehow, though, we haven’t heard anything but archival releases and bizarre quasi-metal side projects from the man for quite some time. He’s all set to return with the new joint Ashes & Fire very soon, and now he’s shared one of the album’s 12 songs with the world. It’s called “Lucky Now,” and it’s a perfectly lovely acoustic lope, the exact kind of thing that earned Adams a place in our hearts in the first place. Listen to it below. (via Stereogum)
