Ryan Adams uneven 2003 LP, Rock N Roll, includes a song called 1974, co-written with Alanis Morissette, named after the year both artists were born. Now, Adams is set to release a new 10-song 7″ that will celebrate some of the music made a decade after Adams (and Morissettes) birth. The 1984 EP pays homage to the halcyon days of the earliest releases from Dischord, SST, Touch & Go and their ilk. The EP is entirely distinct from Adams forthcoming self-titled LP (which features the excellent lead single Gimme Something Good), although perhaps its arrival indicates that we can expect to see a return of the Ryan Adams who used to drop two or three LPs ever year, rather than the one whos been largely silent since 2011.
