Is Ryan Adams a good musician?

Answer 1

Ryan Adams is a good musician, though as far as technical skill he's certainly not with the greats (Clapton, Hendrix, etc.). He can play the guitar and the piano, and has very good overall style. Where Ryan Adams truly shines, however, is his songwriting ability. There are very few people who can write songs like Ryan Adams can, and I think there is a good argument for saying that he is the most prolific songwriter since Bob Dylan.
