Ryan Adams’ uneven 2003 LP, Rock N Roll, includes a song called “1974,” co-written with Alanis Morissette, named after the year both artists were born. Now, Adams is set to release a new 10-song 7″ that will celebrate some of the music made a decade after Adams’ (and Morissette’s) birth. The 1984 EP “pays homage to the halcyon days of the earliest releases from Dischord, SST, Touch & Go and their ilk.” The EP is entirely distinct from Adams’ forthcoming self-titled LP (which features the excellent lead single “Gimme Something Good“), although perhaps its arrival indicates that we can expect to see a return of the Ryan Adams who used to drop two or three LPs ever year, rather than the one who’s been largely silent since 2011.
