Ryan Adams - Prisoner

Came out last year and the reference points are writ large: eighties heartland rock (not exactly rare in contemporary rock'n'pop but not exactly ever unwelcome either) and Adams's own back catalogue, with the odd bit of Johnny Marr-ish jangle. Nothing blazingly revelatory, but all entirely listenable in that way of melancholy, pretty, medium-build Ryan Adams-esque roots-rock anthems.
