"The Su*cide Handbook is a collection of 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 (of which Impressed has one) the album has earned a legendary status among die-hard fans for its stark beauty and alternative versions of well-loved songs. The record features some of the incredible songs from 'Gold' in their stripped-back original form - including 'Firecracker' and 'La Cienega Just Smiled', some that found a home in 'Demolition' including 'Cry On Demand', and some beautiful previously unreleased gems. 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 Su*cide 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. " - Impressed Recordings
