Extra Pepperoni....

Ryan Adams (Lost Highway) released a Valentine's Day EP, Extra Cheese, today available on iTunes for $3.99.

Really?!?

With stacks and stacks of Ryan's unreleased gems, they decide to rehash 5 previously released studio cuts. Oh, but they included one bonus track of a semi-unreleased tune. If you've been coming here for a while, you would've gotten the whole evolutionary story behind Hey There, Mrs. Lovely/These Girls a long time ago. Try to keep up, Lost Highway.

So, today I offer up an alternate version of this love song EP. And this one's completely FREE!

Extra Pepperoni:
1. Two - early version The Elizabethtown Sessions (2005)
2. Blossom - live acoustic version Arlington Theatre (1.21.08)
3. Answering Bell
- alternate version The Suicide Handbook (2001)
4. Evergreen
- extended live version Ambassador Theatre (11.8.08)
5. My Love For You Is Real
- Cowboy Technical Services (2001)
6. Desire
- live version The Paramount Theatre (10.13.08)
7. Hey There, Mrs. Lovely*
- The Destroyer Sessions (2000)

*It sounds like this is the same version as on the iTunes release, but don't tell Lost Highway...

  2. Thanks. I was thinking the same thing. Given how many unreleased tracks there are, this was a pretty lame EP.

  6. Thanks for this compilation! Much better than what Lost Highway could come up with. Your site is a must for us RA junkies. I never knew about the Sweedish Sessions and your seemingly endless knowledge of everything RA is humbling.

    Keep up the great work!

    PS . . . I read what you said comparing him to Dylan. I've done this many times and have never heard anybody else making this comparison. I whole heartedly agree.

  7. Thanks thanks thanks!

    I guess the FTP site for RA is down - do you know of site that has Suicide Handbook and/or Cowboy Technical Services posted?
