Heartbreaker, Ryan Adams's first album on his own after he left Whiskeytown, came out on Bloodshot on September 5, 2000, and it sounds like a man spilling his guts into a microphone at 3 a.m. Ethan Johns produced it at Woodland Studios in Nashville, and the whole thing was cut in just 14 days, which is why it feels so loose, raw and close.
This is alt-country stripped to the bone, and the ghost haunting it is reportedly his breakup with music-business publicist Amy Lombardi. The title is pure accident: with his manager demanding a name on the spot, Adams looked up at a Mariah Carey poster, saw the word on her T-shirt and shouted it. Critics fell hard for it, and it was nominated for the 2001 Shortlist Music Prize.
