Ryan Adams on Austin City Limits

I didn’t get a chance to post this before the fact, but Saturday I caught a rerun originally recorded in Fall of 2005 of Ryan Adams and the Cardinals on Austin City Limits, which airs on PBS. If you didn’t know, Ryan Adams is my favorite artist currently and I really enjoyed the episode. I looked for this airing on youtube, but wasn’t able to find anything. So, here is a clip of my favorite song of their’s from an appearence on David Letterman:

Also, Austin City Limits is awesome. I recently went to their site and read up on the history of the show. It’s been around for over 33 years and is filmed a KLRU television studio located on the University of Texas campus. I never could decide if it was recorded in a studio or not because of the amazingly real background of the city of Austin. It is indeed done indoors, the backdrop is based on a photograph taken from South Austin and has been in use since 1982…

Here is a link to a short behind the scenes video of what it takes to produce an episode of the show.
