"My Wrecking Ball" comes from Ryan Adams, the self-titled album Adams put out on PAX AM in 2014, and on paper it belongs to him alone: he wrote the words and the music, sang it and took the production credit himself.
The record around it took the long way home. Adams had already finished an album with Glyn Johns, his collaborator on Ashes & Fire, then left it on the shelf and cut this one instead with his recording partner Mike Viola. Where Ashes & Fire, back in 2011, stayed mostly acoustic, his 14th studio album trades the hush for moody, atmospheric rock, with "Gimme Something Good" sent out ahead of it as the single.
