Ethan Johns to release new single produced by Ryan Adams
... Ethan Johns will release the Ryan Adams-produced single 'Don't Reach Too Far' on May 20, the singer has confirmed. The track also features Adams on drums and bass and was recorded at the singer's Pax-Am studios in Los Angeles. It's taken from Ethan Johns' album 'If Not Now, Then When?', which came out last November. Johns is best known as a producer himself, having worked on albums by Kings Of Leon, The Vaccines and Laura Marling before embarking on a career as a solo artist. Speaking about his work with Ryan Adams, Johns says: "If punk was invented by cowboys in Texas and beamed to a Sears & Roebuck reel to reel in a garage in Long Beach in 1963, it might have sounded like this." Ethan Johns tours the UK in June with a mix of festival dates - including Bushstock in London and Lounge On The Farm in Kent - and headline shows in village halls and small venues across the country.

Ryan Adams

Artistfacts®:  You can leave comments about the artist/band at the bottom of the page.

He has been labeled a "new Dylan" and "the Kurt Cobain of alt-country." Like both, he claims he doesn't want stardom.
He first gained notoriety as the singer-guitarist for the North Carolina band Whiskeytown.
He recorded his first solo album with the help of some friends like Gillian Welch, Steve Earlem and Emmylou Harris. That album earned him more friends, like Elton John.
Adams makes a policy of stopping his recording at midnight. This allows him plenty of time to go out to bars before last call.
His first influence as a writer was Edgar Allen Poe. By the time he became a teenager, he was very into Jack Kerouac.
He used to buy CDs based on what band T-shirts his favorite skateboarders wore.
Before Whiskeytown, his first band was called the Patty Duke Syndrome. Patty Duke was an actress who won an Oscar in 1962 for her appearance as Helen Keller in The Miracle Worker. She briefly had her own TV show, called the Patty Duke Show.
In March, 2009, he married Mandy Moore in a secret ceremony.
