If you've ever seen Ryan Adams live, you know that he can be one erratic motherfucker. Especially if he's half-way through a bottle of JD. Is it possible to be come a better performer through whiskey? I bet Ryan would testify in it's favor. Here are some live tracks from a show he did in May with his new band The Cardinals. Two old tracks and one new off of Cold Roses for your listening (dis)pleasure:

Ryan Adams: Sylvia Plath (live 5/3/05)

Ryan Adams: To Be Young (Is To Be Sad, Is To Be High)(live 5/3/05)

Ryan Adams: Beautiful Sorta (live 5/3/05)
