Gold by Ryan Adams
Gold is an album by Ryan Adams, released in 2001. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 11 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “New York, New York”, on 11 lists with a best position of #6.
Gold, Ryan Adams' second album, came out on Lost Highway on September 25, 2001, with Ethan Johns producing. A year after leaving Whiskeytown and winning critics over with Heartbreaker, Adams went big: this is a sprawling, sun-bleached record that swings from alt-country heartache to full-tilt rock, made by a songwriter who said he was out to prove something to himself and write a new classic.
"New York, New York" was the single, and it earned him a Grammy nomination for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance, and the album itself was up for Best Rock Album. Critics in the Village Voice's Pazz & Jop poll ranked it the sixth-best album of 2001. It went gold in the UK, and with 812,000 sold around the world, 364,000 of them in America, it remains the best seller of his career.
