# Prisoner - Link: https://mywalkabout.net/prisoner/ - Published: 2017-06-05T12:23:00-07:00 - Author: My Walkabout I settle into my seat at the [Greek Theater](https://www.lagreektheatre.com/) in [Griffith Park](http://www.laparks.org/griffithpark) just as the opening act walks onto the stage. I overhear the girls behind me remark “is that [Karen Elson](http://www.karenelson.com/), [Jack White’s](http://jackwhiteiii.com/) ex?”[](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/93107-img_0120.jpg?ssl=1) What I saw was a beautiful red head, not someone’s ex-wife, nor a former British supermodel. What I heard were heartbreaking lyrics, a tortured soul singing about her pain, and the magic that comes from baring your soul. Goosebumps start as [Ryan Adams](http://paxamrecords.com/) comes onto the stage. This will have been my third time seeing him perform live, but after the first song I could tell that for me, he has never sounded better vocally, and the band was in tight form.[](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/3cb27-fullsizerender2b5.jpg?ssl=1) Perhaps it was because he was playing in his hometown, or perhaps it was just that he is in a good place in life, but no matter the reason, his Prisoner tour to showcase his newest album is a tour de force.[](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/29613-fullsizerender.jpg?ssl=1) The night compromised of a 23 song set list that had such classic songs as Magnolia Mountain, Gimme something good, and Firecracker, as well as a new version of When the Stars Go Blue, plenty of tracks from the new album, and a final acoustic performance of Come Pick Me Up sung as a duet with Kate Elson.[](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/9c7ce-fullsizerender2b6.jpg?ssl=1) If you have the chance, get out to see Ryan Adams this summer, as you won’t regret it. ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/prisoner/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Prisoner&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Fprisoner%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/prisoner/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/prisoner/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/prisoner/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/prisoner/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading…
