'Tiger' to Tame Ryan Adams?

Singer/songwriter Ryan Adams has announced the release of Easy Tiger, his ninth studio effort to date, dropping June 5 on Lost Highway Records. Although the final track sequence is yet to be finalized, Easy Tiger will bear titles like “Tears of Gold,” “Goodnight Rose,” and “I Taught Myself How to Grow Old.”

To us, those song titles sound like countrified rockers and somber acoustic ballads, but after the 11 eclectic albums Adams released via his website late last year (read more) are an omen of things to come, Easy Tiger might spout rap, hardcore, or even electronica.

Track titles for Easy Tiger:

“Goodnight Rose”
“Everybody Knows”
“The Sun Also Sets”
“Halloween Head”
“Off Broadway”
“Two Hearts”
“Tears of Gold”
“These Girls”
“Two”
“I Taught Myself How to Grow Old”
“Oh My God, Whatever, Etc.”
“Rip Off”
“Pearls on a String”
