Alright, so I recently discovered yet another, nearly-complete unreleased album by the amazing Mr. Ryan Adams: Exile on Franklin Street. After oooing and awwwing about this in print for however long I did, though, I later discovered Destroyer and Q Division, two more unreleased records of his.

So, for those keeping score of the insanely prolific Adams over his 10-year recording career, as I have been:

With Whiskeytown:
1996: Faithless Street
1997: Rural Free Delivery
1997: Forever Valentine (unreleased)
1998: Stranger's Almanac
1998: ****er (unreleased)
1999: Pnemonia (released 2001)

With The Finger:
2002: We Are **** You/Punk's Dead Let's ****

Solo:
2000: Heartbreaker
2000: Destroyer (unreleased)
2000: Pinkhearts (unreleased)
2000: Q Division (unreleased)
2000: Exile on Franklin Street (unreleased)
2001: The Suicide Handbook (two CDs) (unreleased)
2001: Gold (two CDs)
2001: 48 Hours (unreleased)
2001: Is This It (unreleased, a song-for-song remake of the Strokes' Is This It, done as bluegrass)
2002: Demolition
2003: Love Is Hell, pt. 1
2003: Love Is Hell, pt. 2
2003: Rock N Roll
2005: Cold Roses (two CDs)
2005: Jacksonville City Nights
2005: 29

And planned for 2007: Black Hole, War and Peace and Starwars.

Has there been another guy like this? And who knows how much more he has hidden?

Anyway, if anyone else wants to hear any of this insanity, a good deal of it is up for download at the Ryan Adams Archive, a bit torrent site and message board.

OK, I'm done fawning now. Anyone else listen to this guy at least a little?
