THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “After nearly two decades of anticipation, Ryan Adams’ infamous cult classic Blackhole has finally been released officially. The album’s contents have been the subject of widespread speculation since its existence first came to light in the mid-’00s.
Featuring Catherine — heard only in live performances — alongside a wealth of previously unheard material, Blackhole captures the raw, unfiltered emotion that has always defined Adam’s songwriting. The shelved release, first demoed in 2006, became heavily bootlegged, with fans circulating low-quality recordings and snippets from live performances, fuelling a demand for an official release. This long-awaited, long-overdue release not only satisfies years of fan speculation, but also resurrecets a crucial moment in Adams musical history.”
