Rock & Roll
‘Rock n Roll’ is the fourth studio album by Ryan Adams, first released on November 4, 2003.
The album features the hit single “So Alive,” and includes guest appearances by Adams’s then girlfriend, actress Parker Posey, former Hole and Smashing Pumpkins bass player Melissa Auf der Maur, and Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong.
The album was recorded in two weeks, in response to Lost Highway’s refusal to release ‘Love is Hell.’ The ensuing standoff was resolved “by being very diplomatic,” according to Adams. ‘Rock n Roll’ became the primary product, while ‘Love is Hell’ was released quietly as two separate EPs, and eventually combined into a single release.
