——————————————————
The Suicide Handbook is Ryan Adams’ most elusive and mythic recordings. The album is a raw and intimate collection of songs that captures the songwriter at his most unguarded. Recorded at the beginning of his solo career and long circulating only through bootlegs, the album has earned a legendary status among die-hard fans and fans of the Americana genre alike for its stark stripped-back beauty.
Acoustic arrangements and hushed, late-night vocals, these songs feel like private confessions set to tape. Adams leans into themes of heartbreak, isolation, and emotional vulnerability, delivering recordings that are as fragile as they are compelling. There’s an immediacy here that sets The Suicide Handbook apart from his studio releases. These are the original recordings in their rawest and un-touched form.
Released officially for the first time, experience the record as a cohesive piece, bringing warmth and depth to its lo-fi origins. The analogue format enhances every subtle nuance, from the quiet creak of strings to the tremble in Adams’ voice.
For longtime fans and collectors alike, The Suicide Handbook stands as a haunting, deeply personal snapshot of an artist laying everything bare—an essential addition to the Ryan Adams collection.

4 years ago Ryan returned to live performances with a sold out show at Carnegie Hall NY.
This October Ryan returns to the stage in Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy with new songs and a jam packed set of classics and fan favourites and songs from his brand new forthcoming album.
I’ve been collecting vintage pinball and rare arcades since I moved to California. This looks like a lot but this is like a third of my collection.
However it’s not right for these great pins to sit unplayed, like guitars and other things…. they belong on their next journey.
My great friend Chris, at @captainsauction will be having a sale on Sunday May 17th... 😬... and ready for fire!! 👊💥❤️😎🏴☠️
And some rock and roll stuff like my big fender Princeton mega amps, guitars used on cold roses and Cardinology as well as the infamous cardinals stage neon lights… wink wink! And more.
