Synopsis

Album Description

The first single off the Whiskeytown singer/songwriters sophomore album, 'Gold'. Includes two non-LP tracks, 'Mara Lisa' & 'From Me To You' along with the enhanced video to 'New York, New York'. The video was shot on September 7 by the Brooklyn Bridge and features the World Trade Center in almost every frame. And in an eerily prescient closing shot, Adams turns and looks across the Hudson River, casting a proud glance at the Twin Towers. The video is dedicated to all those who died in the terrorist strikes of September 11 and to the rescue workers of the city. 2001.

CD Reviews

Well worth the money

"Well, if you are thinking about buying this cd you probably have already heard "New York, New York." You are just wondering if "Mara Lisa" and "From Me to You" are good songs. They are, especially "From Me to You." They both have a light and wistful nature to them. They are good complements to the songs on "Gold.""

First Single off of "Gold": the best post-9/11 song, period.

"This is the first, and best, single off of "Gold", Ryan Adams' breakthrough album. We all know and love "New York New York", the best post-9/11 song out there, period (even if written before). Given the more than suspect quality of radio nowadays, I sometimes wonder if "New York New York" would have made it big on the radio without 9/11, but no matter.The remaining tracks, which do not appear on "Gold", are top quality as well. "Marie Lisa" is Ryan solo on accoustic guitar, in one of his patented "love gone wrong" songs (which he seemingly can crank out at will). "From Me to You" also is an intimate song, which flows very well with the rest of this single.Finally, the single is enhanced with the video of "New York New York", which, as the editorial review above points out, is nothing short is haunting, yet a beautiful tribute (if unintended). By all means, buy this!"
