Ryan Adams: Halloween Promo (2004)

Rarities


So I went out to eat with some friends tonight, effectively forfeiting my duty of passing out candy to ghosts, goblins, princesses, and whatever else kids dress up as for Halloween these days. Instead of letting the trick or treat candy I bought for the occasion go to waste, I conducted a little social experiment by leaving a bucket of candy with a note that read "Please take ONE handful, don't be greedy little monsters." Needless to say, there was no candy left upon my return, and judging by the fact that maybe 3-4 kids showed up last year, it's pretty safe to assume that some snot-nosed rugrat got more than his/her fair share of M&M's and Blow-pops. Granted, the note I left may have been slightly accusatory, so I don't fully blame the younger generation for their brash opportunism. Besides, I was a shameless turd in my hay-day, and would have taken the candy and run. So in celebration of this uber-strange holiday we call Halloween, I offer you one of the better Ryan Adams b-sides I've stumbled across. The song is fittingly titled "Halloween" and was released on a 3-song promo by Lost Highway Records in 2004. Here it is, along with the other two tracks from the promo. -- Capt. Obvious
